Austin Ekeler Added To Thursday's Injury Report
3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hip) was added to the Week 8 injury report on Thursday after he missed practice. Ekeler was a full participant in Wednesday's session, so this is pretty concerning. He comes off the team's Week 7 bye as the RB3 in terms of overall fantasy points with 73 carries for 356 yards and four touchdowns, also adding 27 receptions on 32 targets for 242 yards and three more scores. We'll keep you updated on the 26-year-old's injury, and his Friday practice status will be closely monitored. If Ekeler is unable to play this weekend against the New England Patriots, the Chargers would likely employ a committee approach between Justin Jackson, Joshua Kelley and rookie Larry Rountree III.
