Hamstring injury

Nerdy Football Analysis: The positive here is he was running on the side. However, there’s reason for concern after he missed Wednesday’s practice as well. It is a bit troubling since Ekeler and all of the key players on this offense were held out of preseason action to make sure they were everyone healthy for Week 1. While the Chargers are reportedly optimistic he will play against Washington this weekend, it would be prudent to pick up Justin Jackson in any league he is still available.
