NFL injury tracker Week 2: Austin Ekeler out; C.J. Stroud, Amari Cooper questionable; Chase Young cleared

Scroll down for Saturday injury updates from around the NFL.

The Los Angeles Chargers offense won’t be at full strength Sunday as star running back Austin Ekeler has been ruled out for the matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Ekeler injured his ankle during the season-opener against the Miami Dolphins and wasn’t at practice Friday.

Over his past two seasons, he’s amassed 38 total touchdowns. The 28-year-old led the NFL last season with 18 touchdowns, setting career-highs in rushing yards (915), receptions (107) and receiving yards (722). His 20 touchdowns in 2021 also led the NFL. His absence has the potential to be felt even more on Sunday, considering Tennessee had the league’s top rushing defense last year.

The Chargers could go without another key player in the pursuit of their first win of the season, with defensive end Joey Bosa listed as questionable. Bosa was at practice Friday but didn’t fully participate. He was limited last season with a groin injury that required surgery, and the hope was that he could pick up right where he left off. He recorded double-digit-sack seasons in four of his first six years in the league.

Ekeler and Bosa might not be the only absent players for the Chargers on Sunday either. Keep reading for each team’s injury designations for Week 2:
