Melvin Gordon III Dealing With Rib Injury
4 years agoDenver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (rib) suffered a rib injury in practice on Thursday. It's unknown how serious the injury is, but it's certainly worth keeping an eye on early in training camp, especially since Gordon admitted recently that he's had trouble getting adjusted to the altitude in Denver during practices. The Broncos signed him in free agency with the idea that he'd lead the backfield, but any missed time would pave the way for Phillip Lindsay to see the majority of backfield touches. Unless Gordon's rib injury will cause him to miss considerable time, he's still the preferred fantasy back in Denver, but Lindsay shouldn't be forgotten.
