Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett told reporters Wednesday that running Melvin Gordon will start in Denver’s game against the Jets on Sunday.
The news about Gordon comes two days after the two-time Pro Bowler was benched against his former team in the Broncos’ 19-16 loss against the Chargers on Monday Night Football.
Gordon, who recorded the first two carries in Monday’s game, finished the game with three carries for eight yards. The 29-year-old was not pleased with his production and the number of carries he had, saying it “sucked” knowing that he was not able to help his team in the latter portion of the game.
