COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said he expects Melvin Gordon to make his season debut Sunday against the Denver Broncos.
However, after his first full week of practice, Lynn said Gordon is not ready to handle the full workload as a No. 1 back.
"We have a plan for Melvin," Lynn said Friday. "I don't want to put him in there and play him too much. And I really don't have to. I like what Austin Ekeler has been doing in the backfield. .
