Chargers Injury News: Austin Ekeler Misses Practice Again, Putting Sunday's Game in Jeopardy

Will there be light at the end of this tunnel?

T-minus two days from LA's Week 3 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, and still, there is no sight of Austin Ekeler on the practice field.

Ekeler has not been part of practice since suffering a high ankle sprain during their Week 1 loss. 

As the days have passed, there has been less and less optimism for his return to action. The run game was non-existent without him in their Week 2 loss, and they hope for a different outcome in the run game and the overall game this Sunday. 

The Chargers and Vikings are searching for their first win of the season, and without Ekeler, it just became an even tougher challenge for the Bolts.

Still, LA has the tools to get it done, and we'll see who steps up if Ekeler is a no-go come Sunday.
