Austin Ekeler - Coach hopeful regarding status Coach Brandon Staley relayed Friday that he's hopeful Ekeler (hip) will be able to play Sunday against the Patriots.
Impact Staley noted that Ekeler felt a little bit sore after a strong effort at Wednesday's practice, so the Chargers held the running back out of the team's past two sessions. On the plus side, Staley indicated that Ekeler is feeling better at this stage. While that sounds promising, for now Ekeler -- who is officially listed as questionable -- can be considered a game-day call in advance of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's limited or out versus New England, added Week 8 backfield touches would be available for Justin Jackson, Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree.

Austin Ekeler - Questionable after another DNP Ekeler (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots after missing practice both Thursday and Friday.
Impact We'll look for added clarity with regard to Ekeler's status as the Chargers' 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, and ideally NFL insiders such as Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport will have added context to report by late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. If Ekeler ends up out or limited versus New England, Justin Jackson, Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree would be in line for added Week 8 backfield opportunities.

Austin Ekeler - Not spotted at practice Friday Ekeler (hip) remained sidelined at practice Friday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Ekeler was added to the Chargers' Week 8 injury report Thursday after missing practice and his absence from Friday's session clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots. The team's upcoming injury report will reveal the running back's official injury designation, but if if Ekeler ends up out or limited this weekend, Joshua Kelley, Justin Jackson and Larry Rountree would be in line for added backfield touches.
