Chargers HC Brandon Staley hints at RB Austin Ekeler losing carries
Chargers head coach Brandon Staley suggested that running back Austin Ekeler may start losing carries due to competition. Ekeler has been inefficient since returning from injury, averaging just 3.0 yards per carry in his last eight games. Meanwhile, Joshua Kelley has averaged 4.6 yards per carry over the same span. While Ekeler should still dominate in passing-down work, Kelley could see an increase in carries against the Broncos.
