Chargers to know Austin Ekeler's Week 2 status 'by end of week'

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler's status for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans is not clear after he suffered an ankle injury in a 36-34 season-opening loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Ekeler was not at practice on Wednesday for personal reasons following the death of his agent, Cameron Weiss, on Sunday. Weiss, who died of cancer, was 38.

Chargers head coach Brandon Staley did not say if Ekeler would have been healthy enough to participate on Wednesday.

"His status is to be determined," Staley said.
