The Los Angeles Chargers continue to be without the services of Austin Ekeler this week.
The star running back was out for last Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans and was not at practice on Wednesday. He’s still dealing with that ankle injury.
Chargers’ RB Austin Ekeler, who missed last week’s game due to an ankle injury, is not practicing today.

Not having Ekeler for another game would be super tough for the Chargers since they’re trying to avoid an 0-3 start. He rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown in their season-opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Ekeler will have to practice in at least one of the Thursday or Friday sessions to have a chance of playing on Sunday. If he can get to “FULL” in one of those practices, he might be good to go.
However, that might be a tall order right now since he continues to be banged up.
Kickoff for the Chargers-Vikings contest will be at 1 p.m. ET and it’ll be regionally televised by Fox.
