Rookie running back Austin Ekeler, who scored his fifth touchdown Sunday, said he's embracing his role as the team's third-down running back, though it's a challenge. "I'm used to being in the whole game in college, and now I'm not getting to play in the whole games. I'm not getting in the rhythm as I might have in college, so now I just have to be ready all the time," Ekeler said. So it's more of getting a feel of the game from the sideline would be the biggest transition." … The Chargers will hold their only formal practice of the week on Tuesday.
