3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hip) was held out of practice for the second consecutive day on Friday after he popped up on the injury report after the team's bye week. Ekeler's status is up in the air on Sunday against the New England Patriots, as it is not ideal to miss practice coming off a week of rest. If he were to be held out of action, Joshua Kelley is a name to monitor. However, it is also a strong possibility that it would be a full-blown committee approach with Larry Rountree III and Justin Jackson also getting in some work. It may be best to avoid the situation entirely if the Chargers' RB1 is out on Sunday.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
