Was a full participant at practice on Wednesday, he was designated for return from Injured Reserve from a concussion earlier this week, he returned to practice with no restrictions and may still play in W18

Has been ruled out with a concussion for W13 against the Titans

Sustained a concussion during W12 late in the game, his second concussion of the season and is currently in the concussion protocol, so far hasn't practiced this week making his availability for W13 highly unlikley

Suffered a concussion after taking a hit late in the game against the Cowboys, his second concussion this season, he has entered the concussion protocol and is likely to miss Week 13

After missing Week 4 with a concussion, he has now cleared concussion protocol and is available for Week 5 vs the Browns

Has been ruled out of Week 4 with a concussion, according to head coach Dan Quinn, Ekeler also sustained a laceration to his ear

Left the Week 3 MNF game prematurely as he is being evaluated for a concussion, officially ruled out and there is added worry with the short week that he will miss the Week 4 contest with the Arizona Cardinals, will monitor practice status but lean towards him missing the Commanders next matchup

Austin Ekeler had a down year compared to his 2022 season. He incurred a mild high ankle sprain in Week 1, which kept him out of Weeks 2-4. From that point on, he missed no time but his production was limited to just over 3 yards per carry. Ekeler is expected to split time with Brian Robinson Jr., which should mitigate any concerns about overloading. A new offensive coordinator in Kliff Kingsbury could also help boost his production.

By video, mild left inversion ankle sprain - returned to game without missing a drive - opposite side as right high ankle from Week 1 - can play through effectively but swelling may set in after game
