Recent media reports have indicated that Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will return to the team as early as Thursday. Gordon held out looking for a new contract, but when the Chargers would not budge, he decided to hold out and see if the team would either pay or trade him. Sadly, neither happened and Gordon was losing money week after week. Now he returns so he can stop losing paychecks and earn service time, which should allow him to reach free agency this offseason.
Gordon’s impact will not be felt in Week 4, as it appears that he will not be ready for the game against the Dolphins.
