Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5, but head coach Anthony Lynn still does not know if he’ll be placed on short-term IR. (Fernando Ramirez on Twitter)

It was reported that Ekeler could miss four to six weeks, but maybe it’s less than that if the Chargers don’t think he’ll need the full three weeks on IR. For those with Ekeler, hang tight and hope that he’s back sooner rather than later. In the meantime, Joshua Kelley and Justin Jackson will shoulder the load out of the backfield.
