Melvin Gordon III Returns To Practice
5 years agoDenver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (rib) returned to practice on Monday after missing Friday's training camp practice with a rib injury. Head coach Vic Fangio also told reporters on Monday that linebacker Justin Strnad (wrist) is out for the season after undergoing surgery on his dislocated wrist. Gordon's minor injury, his slow acclimation to the Denver altitude and a report several days ago that he's likely to be part of a backfield timeshare have lowered Gordon's fantasy ceiling as a midrange RB2 in his first year in the Mile High city. At least his rib injury proved to be minor. If the Broncos indeed go with more of a backfield-by-committee approach, Phillip Lindsay could become more of a steal in drafts.
