Chargers lean on Kenneth Farrow to replace Melvin Gordon's production

SAN DIEGO -- It didn’t come about in the way he would have liked, but San Diego Chargers rookie running back Kenneth Farrow will get his first career start Sunday against the Oakland Raiders.

An undrafted rookie out of the University of Houston who had to claw his way onto San Diego’s final roster, Farrow will start in place of Melvin Gordon, who suffered a strained hip and sprained knee against the Carolina Panthers last week.

“I wasn’t too happy about how the opportunity arose,” Farrow said.
