Ekeler (concussion/neck) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
Unable to practice in any capacity last week, Ekeler was held out of Saturday's 22-10 loss to the Ravens. His advancement to full practice in the Chargers' first session of Week 17 suggests he'll be ready to go for the regular-season finale in Denver. He'll return to his usual role behind starter Melvin Gordon, with potential to handle more work after halftime if the game between Oakland and Kansas City isn't close. Of course, the Chargers may turn to third-string back Justin Jackson if it appears they don't have any shot to jump from No. 5 to No. 1 in the AFC playoff seeding. The only path to improvement is a Chargers win combined with a Chiefs loss.
