Austin Ekeler had big ambitions to make his presence felt as the Washington Commanders' starting running back in 2025. This barely lasted two games before a devastating blow that brought his campaign to an abrupt halt.
Ekeler went down late against the Green Bay Packers, tearing his Achilles tendon. The Commanders placed him on season-ending injured reserve, with many wondering if this would be the end of his NFL career.
Judging by Ekeler's recent social media post, he's going to strive with everything he has to ensure this doesn't eventually become the end of the road.
