Chargers Not Optimistic On Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler
6 years agoThe Los Angeles Chargers are not optimistic that running backs Melvin Gordon (knee) and Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) will be ready to play on Thursday in a huge divisional game against the Chiefs, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. Rookies Justin Jackson and Detrez Newsome will likely have to carry the load, with Jackson likely soaking up most of the touches. Jackson needs to be owned everywhere and has RB2 upside if both Gordon and Ekeler sit out.
