As with his teammates, Melvin Gordon endured the flight from Cleveland to London for the Chargers game against Tennessee at Wembley Stadium.
Unlike his teammates, he wasn’t rewarded with the opportunity to participate.
“You get all the way out there, you want to play in front of those fans,” Gordon said Thursday. “I was excited. I’ve been wanting to play in London for a while. Then to get out there …”
It might have been the long flight or dehydration or something he did in practice. Gordon wasn’t entirely enlightening when asked how he injured his hamstring, the ailment that knocked him out of the Chargers’ most recent game a couple hours before kickoff.
