Ekeler was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a neck injury.
Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times suggests that Ekeler may have gotten dinged up near the end of the Chargers' Week 11 loss to the Broncos. On the plus side, the running back's injury doesn't appear to be overly serious since he wasn't withheld from practice entirely. Assuming Ekeler is cleared to play against the Cardinals this weekend, he should be ready to handle his usual complementary role behind starter Melvin Gordon.
