Alohi Gilman - Ready to return Gilman (quadriceps) practiced in full Wednesday.

Impact Gilman has been out with the injury since Week 11, but his return to a full practice has him likely to suit up Sunday against the Texans. The second-year pro's return should be a boost to the secondary, and a needed one if Derwin James (hamstring) were to be unable to compete Sunday.

Asante Samuel Jr. - Full participant in practice Samuel (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.

Impact Samuel has missed the last four games due to a concussion, but his full participation in practice Wednesday is an encouraging sign. If he can remain a full participant Thursday and Friday, he should have a good chance to return for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Donald Parham Jr. - Doesn't practice Wednesday Parham (concussion) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session.

Impact Parham was stretchered off the field in Thursday's loss to Kansas City and was diagnosed with a concussion after the game. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity this week if he hopes to play Sunday against Houston.

Austin Ekeler - Tests positive for COVID-19 The Chargers placed Ekeler on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Reports surfaced Monday suggesting that Ekeler was headed to the list, but it wasn't until Wednesday that the running back was officially deactivated. According to Daniel Popper of The Athletic noted Monday that Ekeler is day-to-day, which suggests that he's vaccinated and therefore has a chance to play Sunday in Houston if he can test out of the NFL's COVID-19 protocol. If not, Justin Jackson would be the top candidate to replace Ekeler as the Chargers' lead back.

Austin Ekeler - Not practicing Wednesday Ekeler wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Ekeler was absent from Monday's unofficial practice session, with head coach Brandon Staley seemingly hinting afterward that Ekeler was likely headed to the reserve/COVID-19 list, according to Popper. However, Ekeler wasn't among the players placed on the list that today, perhaps suggesting some uncertainty about a positive COVID-19 test result. Later Wednesday, Los Angeles will release its first Week 16 practice report, which will provide an explanation for Ekeler's absence.
