Once again, Ekeler's absence from Wednesday's practice raises uncertainty about whether he'll be available for the Chargers' game against the Vikings on Sunday.
After sustaining an ankle injury in Week 1 against the Dolphins, he missed Week 2 against the Titans, & now, it remains uncertain whether he will play against the Vikings.
The RB, dealing with an ankle injury, was absent from practice once again. HC Staley said on Wednesday that there's no timetable for his return, which is obviously a big loss for the Chargers.
If you're considering adding Kelley from waivers as a replacement for Ekeler, don't do it.
The Chargers' offensive prowess centers on their passing game. Additionally, their trio of WRs, Allen, Williams, & Johnston, is well above the norm, indicating a heavy reliance on passing.
Kelley's performance against the Titans, where he gained only 39 yards on 13 carries, was notably subpar. With Ekeler out, you should avoid Chargers RBs at all.
