C Corey Linsley, OLB Joey Bosa and RB Austin Ekeler are being placed on the COVID-19 list, per source. Chargers dealing with a situation.

The tweet said more names could drop today for the Bolts. It's possible Ekeler can be cleared for Week 16, especially with more relaxed rules. And, the Chargers fortunately play an early afternoon game Sunday against the Texans leaving owners time to adjust lineups. If Ekeler isn't able to go, Jackson probably is the lead back with Kelley also getting some work.

Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) and TE Zach Ertz (hamstring) are questionable for Week 15's game at the Detroit Lions.

Related Players: Chase Edmonds, Eno Benjamin

Edmonds reportedly looked good at practice and could be activated for the game against Detroit. Ertz popped up on the injury report Friday so his status is one to watch carefully Sunday.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel (hamstring) will not play Week 15, while RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) and WR Terry McLaurin (concussion) are questionable.

WFT gets the Eagles off a bye with Kyle Allen, Kyle Shurmur, Garrett Gilbert, or you at QB this week. Lower expectations for the entire WFT offense.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is expected to play tonight against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Ekeler is banged up and playing on a short week, but the Chargers are playing for their playoff lives, and a loss could be detrimental to their chances to make the postseason. With that in mind, Ekeler will give it a go tonight. Ekeler may see a reduced workload but should still be featured when he is on the field. Ekeler is our 4th ranked running back for Week 15.

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) is a game-time decision and will try out his ankle before Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

If Ekeler is active, it could be a dicey proposition. The Chiefs front seven has been much better with the acquisition of Melvin Ingram and Chris Jones moving back to defensive tackle.

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the regular season. He sprained his knee Week 14 and was expected to get a second opinion Wednesday.

Tough loss for the Cardinals and even tougher for Hopkins now that he is in a stable offense. All pass catchers get a boost without Hopkins.

WFT RB J.D. McKissic (concussion) and WRs Terry McLaurin (concussion) and Curtis Samuel (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

McKissic is in danger of missing his third game, while McLaurin may be in danger of missing his first. If you have been holding out hope for Samuel, it is time to cut bait.

Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler were limited Tuesday in practice.

Williams is dealing with a heel injury and Ekeler an ankle. Both are expected to play and with WR Keenan Allen off the COVID list the Bolts should be at full strength against the Chiefs on Thursday night in a huge AFC West battle.

The Chargers didn't practice today, but if they had, RB Austin Ekeler (ankle) would not have participated.

A report earlier today said Ekeler's ankle is "fine." The team has a short week in Week 15, taking on the Chiefs in a huge AFC West showdown.

Chiefs WR Josh Gordon tested positive, per the wire.

Gordon caught two passes for 9 yards and a TD this past week but his status will be up in the air for a Thursday night game against the Chargers in Week 15. Reports say Gordon is vaccinated so he'll need two negative tests in 24 hours to get back on the field.
