Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley told reporters running back Austin Ekeler suffered an ankle injury and that it is "to be determined" whether he will participate in Wednesday's practice.
Ekeler, 28, avoided serious injury in 2021, missing just one game after being placed on the NFL's reserve/COVID-19 list in late December. He was excellent when healthy, rushing for 911 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 70 receptions for 647 yards and eight scores.
He didn't miss a game in 2022 either, putting up 1,637 yards from scrimmage and 18 scores.
The speedy running back has emerged as one of the most dangerous weapons in football and a focal point of the Chargers offense for quarterback Justin Herbert, alongside the wide receiver duo of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.
