Los Angeles Chargers Star Running Back Cleared For Week 17

The Los Angeles Chargers offence has the potential to be one of the best teams in the NFL as the playoffs approach, and if they can keep all of their weapons around Justin Herbert healthy, this is a team that has the potential to go on a massive run towards the Super Bowl. 

Today they delivered some very good news on that idea, as running back Austin Ekeler, who's been fantastic in 2022 has officially been cleared for the Week 17 battle against the Los Angeles Rams, a great boost for a team looking to continue building momentum.

Thus far in 2022, Ekeler has put up 759 rushing yards to go along with 11 Touchdowns while adding 647 yards and 5 Touchdowns through the air, and while there's plenty of keys to this team, he might be the biggest of all.
