Is Austin Ekeler playing Week 8? UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday that Ekeler told him he"" on Sunday versus the Patriots. Ekeler(hip) on Thursday as well as Friday, putting his accessibility for Sunday's game against New England in major uncertainty.

Earlier in the year, it appeared like Larry Rountree III was the clear handcuff, yet recently, Joshua Kelley has actually been playing more than either Rountree or a banged-up Justin Jackson. In the meantime, we 'd a little prefer Kelley based on recent fads-- and it could just as conveniently be a full-on board-- however nothing would certainly shock us in this backfield. If Ekeler is out, consider all 3 of the Bolts' backups low-end flexes.
