NFL | Austin Ekeler medically cleared Thu Apr 30, 04:17 PM

Free-agent RB Austin Ekeler (Commanders) has been medically cleared to return to the field after his torn Achilles tendon and is planning to play in 2026, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Ekeler tore his Achilles in Week 2 and has been recovering ever since. The veteran can bring a trusted presence to any backfield in the pros both as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Medically cleared now, Ekeler should sign with a team this season - perhaps when injuries start to strike as offseason work (and maybe into training camp) gets underway.
