COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Chargers running back Austin Ekeler said Tuesday there is a "99% chance" he will play in his team's Week 6 game against the Cowboys on Monday night.
Monday's game would be Ekeler's first back since he suffered a high right ankle sprain in the Chargers' Week 1 loss to the Dolphins. With no official team injury report on Tuesday, Ekeler told reporters he was a full participant in practice, and he went through it without the ankle brace he had been sporting on his right ankle.
