Melvin Gordon III Expected To Play Sunday
3 years agoDenver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip) is expected to play on Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, according to a source. Gordon was listed on the final injury report as questionable, but it appears he'll suit up and continue to split the backfield with impressive rookie Javonte Williams. Gordon has been banged up in recent weeks, also dealing with rib and leg injuries, but he hasn't missed a game. However, he's had a season-low 11 touches in each of the last two games and hasn't been nearly as efficient as Williams. The 28-year-old will continue to get his touches, but Williams has looked much more explosive and will be the more attractive RB2/3 in Week 6.
