COSTA MESA, Calif. -- As the Los Angeles Chargers head into the final three games of their season after firing their head coach and general manager, running back Austin Ekeler told reporters Tuesday he wouldn't lose focus because of how much he has at stake.

"I'm a free agent after this year," he said, "and so I'm still painting my resume."

Ekeler emerged as one of the NFL's top running backs since he joined the Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2017. Since 2021, he has scored more touchdowns than any running back with 44 over that span and has the most receptions of any back since 2019 with 354.
