Ekeler is on the Chargers' 53-man roster, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Ekeler broke out in a big way in the Chargers' final preseason game Thursday, racking up 108 total yards. That performance was enough to outlast fellow running backs Kenjon Barner and Andre Williams for a spot on the team's final roster. He's expected to be the No. 3 running back behind Melvin Gordon and Branden Oliver.
