Austin Ekeler has successfully cleared the concussion protocol and is set to play against the Browns this Sunday. His return is timely as fellow running back Brian Robinson is still dealing with a knee issue, potentially leading to a larger workload for Ekeler. Last week, Jeremy McNichols stepped in for Ekeler and could see significant action again if Robinson is unable to play.
