NFL Week 4 - In the fallout of running back Javonte Williams' torn ACL, Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Outten gave a statement in support of incumbent back Melvin Gordon III.
“With Melvin he’s going to carry the load obviously," said Outten, via 9NEWS' Mike Kils. "We’ll have a mix of (Mike) Boone and after that we’ve got to figure out who can spell and who feels best in that position. But we trust Melvin going forward here.”
Gordon was the running back behind Williams through the Broncos' first three games in 2022, only to get benched during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
