The San Diego Chargers rookie RB has been disappointing all season, and he'll miss the team's first game against the Raiders with an injury or due to benching or a little bit of both.
Chargers expected to hold out RB Melvin Gordon (ankle) today for precautionary reasons. Branden Oliver's workload to see largest jump.

Huh.
Well, all week I've been telling people not to be surprised if the San Diego Chargers bench rookie RB Melvin Gordon against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday and call it an injury, and I guess that's what happening here.
