The Los Angeles Chargers will be looking to continue their run from the end of last season and transfer the momentum into the new one, with a win against the Washington Football Team. The squad from LA will have the help of running back Austin Ekeler in week 1, which is great news for Chargers fans.
According to Ian Rapoport, after missing two practices last week due to a hamstring injury, Austin Ekeler will be fully ready to play against the from the capital. The two practices that he missed were, according to a source inside the team, completely precautionary, and, apparently, they did the trick. He will be on the field and playing at full capacity, which is something that the Charges really need at this time.
From @NFLGameDay: #Giants RB Saquon Barkley (knee) should be used sparingly today, #Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (hamstring) is full-go, and assuming all goes well in warmups, #Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr (knee) is expected to play. pic.twitter.com/s0YVUVskrg

After making the postseason in six consecutive years, last season was the second year in a row where the LA franchise did not make the playoffs. However, even after being mathematically eliminated from the postseason race in Week 13, the Chargers still made an effort to win their last four games and end 7-9, improving on the 5-11 season they had a year before that. It is their hope that this is the season they return to the playoffs.
