Talk about some early morning news: Melvin Gordon, according to Ian Rapoport, is expected to return to the Chargers within the coming weeks.
Reportedly, he’ll come back to the team between the sixth and eighth week of the season, reporting to the Chargers to allow himself to qualify for free agency next season. Though it was possible he held out the entire year, it looks like he won’t be attempting to do what Le’Veon Bell did last season.
The news, at least as it reads in Rapoport’s article, doesn’t sound like a triumphant return to the team.
