The Facts: According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Ekeler is hopeful to play next week after dealing with a higher-type ankle sprain.

Diehards Line: That said, with a Week 5 bye looming, they could opt for more rest. A loss today, however, would drop them to 0-3 and might instill a bit more urgency. Whatever the case, Joshua Kelly remains the lead back today at Minnesota.
