Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Ekeler is dealing with "bumps and bruises" following Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals, but the running back is expected to practice during the upcoming week, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Fantasy managers will still want to check back in on Ekeler to make sure he's back on the field Wednesday for the start of Week 14 prep. Because Staley didn't specifically say that Ekeler was dealing with an injury, the 26-year-old will most likely be ready to handle his normal workload by the time this weekend's game against the Giants arrives. Ekeler carried 14 times for 59 yards and a touchdown and recorded five receptions for 45 yards on five targets in the victory over Cincinnati.
