The five-time Pro Bowl selection, who hasn’t played since Sept. 11, is officially listed as doubtful to play Monday against the Denver Broncos
He’s looked better and better in each game since the Chargers’ loss to the Jaguars, guiding them to victories the past two weeks. In fact, if you didn’t know better, you wouldn’t know he was suffering from a potentially debilitating injury that could grind the Chargers’ high-power offense to a halt.Chargers’ offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi was a bit more expansive during an interview Friday.
“I think he’s feeling better every week,” Lombardi said. “The thing that he is doing so well is protecting the football. We’re not getting sacked and I think a big part of that is, obviously, the offensive line and the tight ends and the running backs and the receivers getting open. “He bails us out of a lot of situations with the clock in his head and getting rid of the ball if he feels the protection is breaking down. He’s just keeping us out of bad situations. He’s tremendous at it. When he has the opportunity, we know that he makes incredible plays. I think he’s doing fantastic.”Broncos running back Melvin Gordon played for the Chargers from 2015-19, gaining more than 4,200 yards rushing and nearly 2,000 yards receiving.
Gordon and Ekeler will meet again as rivals when the Chargers play host to the Broncos on Monday at SoFi Stadium. “Melvin’s my guy,” Ekeler said. “He led the path for me here. He showed me the ropes. I’ll forever have respect for that guy. I remember being the young pup and seeing him talk to people in interviews and things like that. Just having us bounce ideas off each other and us being that duo, that tandem in the backfield, was really special. I’ll always have respect for him as long as I live.”
