Chargers' Austin Ekeler Prepares for Free Agency Amid Season Struggles

Despite a challenging season and recent team management changes, Ekeler aims to prove his worth in the final three games.

  • Austin Ekeler, running back for the Los Angeles Chargers, is preparing for free agency after this season, stating he's 'still painting my resume'.
  • Ekeler has struggled this season, averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry and missing three games due to ankle injuries.
  • Despite his struggles, Ekeler has been a key player for the Chargers, scoring more touchdowns (44) than any running back since 2021 and having the most receptions of any back since 2019 with 354.
  • Ekeler has expressed dissatisfaction with the recent firing of head coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco, stating he wouldn't have made the same decision.
  • The Chargers' final three games of the season will serve as an audition for Ekeler, who is determined to prove he can still play at a high level.
