Most recently, running back Melvin Gordon was carted off the field with a hip injury. For Week 15, Gordon has been described as “highly unlikely” to play. That will open the door for Kenneth Farrow to take his crack at making a big impression.
Farrow would get the start in Gordon’s place against the Oakland Raiders and split time with Ronnie Hillman, who should see his first action of the season.
Last week against the Carolina Panthers, Farrow was given 16 carries after replacing Gordon. He gained 55 yards on the ground while also catching six passes out of the backfield.
