COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Chargers running back Austin Ekeler returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since he suffered a high ankle sprain in Los Angeles' Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Ekeler went through individual drills where he sprinted with the football in his hand and bounced up and down on the injured ankle throughout the portion of practice open to the media.
After practice, Ekeler told reporters that playing this Sunday is a "possibility."
"I can run full speed straight ahead right now," Ekeler said, standing on the balls of his feet to show he had no pain with that motion.
