Following last season's disappointing rookie campaign, San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is eager to prove he can be a three-down workhorse for the Bolts this season.
Melvin's immediate future, however, could be taking a backseat to Monday's reported revelation he underwent microfracture knee surgery this offseason.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune's Michael Gehlken, Gordon underwent the procedure in January and was given a recovery timetable of four to six months. Gordon told the newspaper he doesn't anticipate being limited in practices and said he's not worried about being available for training camp.
