With a game Thursday night vs. the Chiefs, the short week will make it tough for Ekeler to be ready, Schefter went on to say. Gordon could very well be back for this game, keeping Jackson as the RB2. However with Gordon back, Jackson's overall value probably takes a hit. That said, he had nine total touches for just 35 yards in Week 14 which wasn't want owners were hoping for when grabbing him off the wire.

Gordon is going to miss a "few weeks" according to the rest of the tweet. Rapoport went on to say Gordon should be back before the end of the regular season if all goes well. For fantasy owners, it's a big blow as we approach the fantasy playoffs. At this point, the best case is Gordon misses Weeks 13 and 14 and returns for Week 15 as sprains can cost players about two weeks. However, things may also depend on where the Chargers sit in terms of playoff seeding. Ekeler should benefit the most with Gordon out, but likely won't carry the workload, so Jackson could have a role as well.

He likely won't be back in this one as things are out of hand and the Bolts are up big against the Cards. Gordon was questionable leading up to this game because of his knee but looked good in the first half. So, we'll have to see his status for Week 13.
