Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler could miss multiple weeks because of a hyperextended knee and hamstring injury, according to reports.
ESPN claim Ekeler wore a brace on the knee and walked on crutches after Sunday's 38-31 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He finished with two carries for 12 yards and one reception for 2 yards.
The Chargers plan to have Ekeler undergo an MRI exam on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.
The 25-year-old burst onto the scene last season with 1,550 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns.
He has 23 career touchdowns - nine on the ground and 14 receiving.
The Chargers are scheduled to visit the New Orleans Saints next week.
