"Veteran free agent running back Austin Ekeler is fully 100% medically cleared for all football activities from the torn Achilles suffered last September vs. the Packers, per an NFL source, and intends to play this season. Expected to draw solid interest. One of the premier pass-catching backs in the NFL with the Chargers."
"Some thought such a devastating injury relatively late into Ekeler's career could have been the end. A running back's shelf-life is not long once you go past 30, so it was a precarious situation."
Austin Ekeler has been medically cleared to resume football activities after suffering a torn Achilles tendon last season. The Washington Commanders confirmed he would not return, but there is expected to be strong interest in his services from other teams. Ekeler's injury was a significant setback, ending his time with the Commanders prematurely. Despite concerns about his career longevity, he remains determined to continue playing and has worked hard during his rehabilitation.
