Melvin Gordon III Limited Again Thursday
3 years agoDenver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) put in his second straight limited practice on Thursday. Gordon sprained his thumb in the Week 14 win over the Detroit Lions, but he returned to that contest and is fully expected to play this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 28-year-old was once again Denver's 1A backfield option slightly ahead of rookie Javonte Williams, and Gordon posted his second 100-yard game of the season. Running room will probably be harder to come by this Sunday against a Bengals defense that's allowing the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game (93.1), but Gordon should at least be a low-end RB2 consideration given the Broncos commitment to the running game.
