Chargers Daily Links: Austin Ekeler dealing with ankle injury

Good morning, Chargers fans!

On Monday during his press conferences, Brandon Staley announced that running back Austin Ekeler is currently dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered near the end of Sunday’s loss to the Dolphins. At the time, it was still “to be determined” whether or not Ekeler would be available for Wednesday’s practice.

It’s still very early in the week, and there’s another 24 hours before players are back on the field, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the coaching staff slow-roll him this week in hopes he can rehab enough to play his normal role against the Titans.

And now for today’s links.
