COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will be welcomed into the locker room with open arms, with most of his teammates continuing to support him during his two-month holdout, which ended Thursday.
Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson were productive players for the Chargers with Gordon unavailable.
Through three games, Ekeler leads the league in yards from scrimmage and is third in the NFL in total touchdowns, while Jackson has averaged 7.9 yards per carry.
The Chargers also had three touchdowns called back due to costly penalties, 60- and 6-yard runs by Jackson and a 22-yard catch and run by Ekeler.
