Austin Ekeler Out Of Concussion Protocol
6 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (neck) is out of the concussion protocol, and head coach Anthony Lynn fully expects Ekeler to return in the Week 17 season finale against the Broncos. Ekeler hasn't played since Dec. 9, but he should immediately return to his change-of-pace role behind Melvin Gordon. Ekeler had a quiet game the first time around against Denver, but he'll return to RB3/flex consideration in PPR formats. Rookie Justin Jackson will fall to third on the depth chart.
