Chargers News: Austin Ekeler Posts Cryptic Social Message Message Ahead of Week 4 Game

Will he be out there or not?

Your Los Angeles Chargers will take on Las Vegas for their first home game since Week 1 today. LA will look to move to .500 against their division rival, and most likely, it will be without their star running back, Austin Ekeler, or will it? 

We're less than four hours from game time, and with Ekeler listed as doubtful, he shared a message on social media that might tell us otherwise.

Now, this might be something, or it might be nothing; who knows? Still, it is odd that he posts this on game day. Is he telling us he'll be on the field for the matchup today, or is he just teasing Charger fans? They're just as confused as we are. 

Care to share any further insight?

Ekeler has missed the last two games as he is dealing with a high ankle sprain. The LA run game has looked pedestrian in his absence, so if they can get him back today, that would be a major upgrade. 

This might be all smoke, and most likely, he will be out there in Week 6 for his return (Week 5 is a bye week).
