  • Stymied in tough Week 12 matchup

    Gordon registered 31 rushing yards on 12 carries during Sunday's 31-3 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Gordon was running into stacked boxes throughout the afternoon, as recent practice squad addition Kendall Hinton posed virtually no threat as a passer with one completion all game. Gordon took a handful of snaps from the wildcat formation, but he was held to just 2.6 yards per carry in the contest, also finishing without a reception for a third consecutive game. Denver's offense could look more formidable Week 13 for a road trip to Arrowhead Stadium if Drew Lock is activated from the…read more

  • Should be busy Sunday

    With Kendall Hinton slated to fill in at QB for the Broncos on Sunday against the Saints, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News expects " a steady diet of Hinton handing off" to Gordon and Phillip Lindsay.

    Analysis: Gordon ran 15 times for 84 yards and two TDs in last weekend's win over the Dolphins, while Lindsay logged 16 carries for 82 yards in that contest. Both should remain busy Sunday, with Hinton, who's been working as a wideout on the team's practice squad but does have college QB experience, subbing in due to the fact that the team's usual signal-callers are unavailable due to COVID-19 protocols. Denver's third running back, Royce Freeman, is also a candidate to see added Week 12 snaps, perhaps…read more

  • Two TDs in win over Dolphins

    Gordon carried the ball 15 times for 84 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Phillip Lindsay produced nearly identical numbers (16 carries for 82 yards) in terms of volume, but it was Gordon who scored the Broncos' only two TDs of the afternoon. He nearly had a third in the fourth quarter, but upon review he was ruled to have fumbled the ball before crossing the goal line. The duo will likely have a much tougher time finding running room in Week 12 against a Saints defense that just held Todd Gurley to 29 scrimmage yards.

  • Limited usage in lopsided loss

    Gordon registered 46 rushing yards on 11 carries while failing to haul in either of his targets during Sunday's 37-12 loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Backfield mate Phillip Lindsay was seldom deployed during Sunday's divisional defeat, notching just four touches, but Gordon's involvement faded as well with the Broncos falling into a 14-point deficit by the start of the fourth quarter. Denver elected to throw 47 times to just 19 team rush attempts in an effort to come from behind, but a lost fumble from DaeSean Hamilton along with a late interception from Drew Lock eliminated any hope for a comeback in the final frame. The two-time Pro Bowl…read more

  • Court date pushed back

    Gordon's court date for his Oct. 13 arrest on DUI and speeding charges has been moved from Friday to Dec. 14 at the request of his attorney, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Based on the recent NFL precedent for players who have faced similar charges, Gordon is likely to face a three-game suspension, but the league isn't expected to levy punishment on the running back until the legal process is resolved. With that in mind, it's possible that any potential suspension Gordon might face relating to his arrest may not have to be served until 2021. As Klis notes, the Broncos will have three games left on the schedule following Gordon's Dec. 14 court date.

  • Quiet day in Atlanta

    Gordon logged 18 rushing yards on six carries, adding one reception for nine yards during Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: After racking up 281 rushing yards and four total TDs over the first quarter of the regular season, Gordon has been inconsistent since his return from an illness that beset him in mid-October. In three appearances since his two-game absence, Gordon has averaged just 3.6 yards per carry with one total touchdown and fewer than 15 receiving yards in two of the three outings. He'll split RB duties with Phillip Lindsay again in Week 10, but this time it will be a more favorable matchup taking on Las…read more

  • Totals 47 yards in win

    Gordon caught six of seven targets for 21 yards and added 26 yards on eight carries during Sunday's 31-30 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: The stat line looks unimpressive, but Gordon came through for the Broncos in the passing game Sunday. If not for Gordon's juggling third-down conversion in the closing seconds of the game, the Broncos might not have been in position to pull off the comeback against Gordon's old team. The veteran back's ability in the passing game is a factor in why he's getting the lion's share of the touches for Denver, but don't be surprised if the coaching staff looks to give Phillip Lindsay a few more…read more

  • Reaches end zone in blowout loss

    Gordon registered 68 rushing yards and one touchdown on 17 carries, adding two catches for 12 yards during Sunday's 43-16 loss to the Chiefs. He also lost two fumbles.

    Analysis: Gordon was forced to sit out last week's win over New England with a case of strep throat, but he was thrust right back into a No. 1 role as Phillip Lindsay exited partway through Sunday's defeat due to a concussion. Lindsay slashed his way to 8.8 yards per carry on nine attempts prior to his departure, while Gordon rushed to a less efficient 4.0 yards-per-rush average, scoring one of Denver's two TDs on the ground. If Lindsay sits out Week 8, Gordon would be in line for a bellcow-like workload…read more

  • Practicing fully

    Gordon (illness) isn't listed on the Broncos' Week 7 injury report released Wednesday.

    Analysis: Gordon missed Sunday's win over the Patriots due to a case of strep throat, but he was back at practice Wednesday. Now that he's working at full capacity again, Gordon is poised to rejoin the lineup this weekend against the Chiefs, though he may not be in store for the 60-plus-percent snap shares he enjoyed Weeks 1 through 4. Phillip Lindsay returned from a three-game absence to log 23 carries for 101 yards Week 6, perhaps making a case for a larger share of the backfield work even with Gordon…read more

  • Practicing Wednesday

    Gordon (illness) is present at Wednesday's practice, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gordon missed Sunday's win over the Patriots while battling a case of strep throat, but his presence on the field to begin Week 7 prep suggests that he's made a recovery. The Broncos' first injury report of the week will reveal whether Gordon was a full practice participant, or if his reps were limited.

  • Expected back Week 7

    Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that he expects Gordon (illness) to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gordon missed the Week 6 win over the Patriots while dealing with strep throat, and he also was cited late last Tuesday on DUI and speeding charges. However, Fangio's comments that the Broncos will "go back to the plan we had for the opener" if Gordon resumes practicing seems to indicate that the veteran would be in line to play as long as he's healthy. It may also hint that Gordon would stand to split reps fairly evenly with Phillip Lindsay, just as Denver did out of the gate Week 1.

  • Recovering from strep throat

    Gordon (illness), who was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is recovering from a bout with strep throat, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gordon didn't travel with the Broncos to New England on Saturday, ending a turbulent week for the running back, who was cited late Tuesday on DUI and speeding charges. The Broncos chose to hold him out of Wednesday's practice, but Gordon was back at work Thursday before being sent home Friday after feeling sick. Gordon was determined to be dealing with a non-COVID-19-related illness, but he'll still need a few days to recover before likely rejoining the Broncos for practice Week 7. Regarding…read more

  • Out ahead of Sunday

    Gordon (illness) will not travel with the team to New England and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: The move seems to be billed as a precautionary measure although all indications suggest Gordon is not suffering from a COVID-related illness. It's unclear whether the 27-year-old's legal matters are also factoring into the decision, but in any case Phillip Lindsay, who just returned from a multi-week absence from a toe injury, will be the primary option for most of the running back reps, with Royce Freeman occasionally chipping in as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

  • Listed as questionable

    Gordon (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's scheduled game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Troy Renck of Denver 7 News, coach Vic Fangio isn't sure if Gordon will be active Sunday. The running back -- who was cited for driving under the influence late Tuesday -- is dealing with an illness that's not COVID-related. Renck adds that Gordon is undergoing medical treatment, and his status will be determined Saturday. If he's unavailable Sunday, Phillip Lindsay will be in line to head Denver's Week 6 backfield, with Royce Freeman also on hand.

  • Sent home with illness

    Gordon (illness) was sent home Friday as a precaution, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Per Klis, the running back was feeling ill, but his issue is not COVID-related, and Gordon has tested negative for the virus. Gordon's status for Sunday's scheduled game against the Patriots was already worth monitoring after the running back was cited for driving under the influence late Tuesday. Additionally, New England's practice was canceled Friday due to a positive COVID-19 test, so there are several variables in play here with regard to Gordon and his team as the weekend approaches.

    Analysis: Gordon, who was cited late Tuesday on DUI and speeding charges, was sent home by the team Wednesday and didn't participate in practice. Per Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post, coach Vic Fangio has yet to commit to having Gordon active for Sunday's game against the Patriots. "We'll make a decision as it relates to us by game time," Fangio noted Thursday.

With regard to Gordon's Week 6 playing status, Fangio added at the time that "everything's open right now. We hope to have a decision by (Thursday) or (Friday)."

    Analysis: Fangio also said that he requested Gordon, who was cited late Tuesday on DUI and speeding charges, not to attend Wednesday's practice. According to Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Fangio said that the Broncos are in touch with the NFL regarding a potential suspension for Gordon, and the team may also consider instituting its own disciplinary measures if the league doesn't immediately levy punishment.

  • Broncos-Patriots postponed again

    Gordon and the Broncos won't play the Patriots on Monday after the game was postponed until Week 6 due to a third positive COVID-19 test in the New England organization within the past eight days, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Broncos and Patriots are now tentatively scheduled to play Sunday, Oct. 18 in Week 6, which was originally a scheduled bye week for New England. Denver, meanwhile, had been in line to host the Dolphins, but Miami now looks poised to take its bye Week 6.

    Monday's scheduled game between Gordon and the Broncos vs. the Patriots is still in line to proceed at this stage, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The league shut down the Patriots' team facility Sunday morning after one new positive COVID-19 test was reported.

    Analysis: Schefter notes that there will be "further testing (Sunday) morning in New England (and) it takes a few hours to get back those results." Therefore, the NFL "expects to have more answers later" Sunday.

    The status of Monday's scheduled game for Gordon between the Broncos and Patriots is reportedly in question after New England's team facility was shut down by the league Sunday morning, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Analysis: Schefter adds that the Patriots had one new positive COVID-19 test Sunday morning. As a result, the team is undergoing additional testing and "awaiting further direction from the NFL." The Week 5 contest, which had been originally scheduled for 4:25 ET on Sunday, was subsequently rescheduled for Monday at 5:00 ET.

    Gordon and the Broncos are now scheduled to face the Patriots on Monday instead of Sunday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: A pair of prominent Patriots (Cam Newton and Stephon Gilmore) have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last week, so the move was made to give the Broncos' opponent more time to ensure negative results continue to come in in New England. Assuming the game is played as rescheduled, Gordon will be sharing the backfield again with Phillip Lindsay (toe), who will be back in action for the first time since Week 1.

  • Has game-clinching TD run

    Gordon rushed 23 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns and secured two of three targets for 11 yards in the Broncos' 37-28 win over the Jets on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Gordon had a good amount of experience repeatedly running into loaded fronts during his time with the Chargers, so the veteran running back was undeterred Thursday depite being consistently bottled up for the majority of the contest. Gordon then broke through at just the right time, exploding for a 43-yard scamper down the left sideline and crossing the goal line with 1:48 remaining to snuff out any threat of a Jets comeback. The 27-year-old also had scored on a one-yard run late in the first…read more

  • Shut down by stout Bucs front

    Gordon collected 26 rushing yards on eight carries, also catching four of six targets for 12 receiving yards during Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Gordon enjoyed a solid Week 2 outing against a comparably dominant Steelers rush defense, accumulating 84 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 21 offensive touches. With Jeff Driskel stepping in as the starting quarterback against Tampa Bay, Gordon got out to a sluggish start with seven yards on his four first-quarter rush attempts. From there, game flow largely mitigated Gordon's usage as Denver fell into a 17-3 hole at the 6:35 mark of the second quarter. Things may be looking up for Gordon…read more

  • Finds end zone vs. Steelers

    Gordon carried 19 times for 70 yards while catching two of three targets for 14 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Gordon found the going tough against a stingy Pittsburgh defense as he averaged just 3.7 yards per carry. He managed to bring in a 16-yard touchdown pass from Jeff Driskel in the fourth quarter en route to the best performance of his young Broncos career. Gordon's uptick in offensive output was in part due to the absence of Phillip Lindsay (toe), and he showed he can still produce when given 20-plus touches per game. He should play a similar role in next Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.

  • Likely lead back through Week 3

    Gordon is expected to serve as the Broncos' clear lead back for at least the team's next two games with Denver expecting Phillip Lindsay to miss 2-to-4 weeks with a sprained toe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Lindsay had already been ruled out for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, but following the results of a second opinion on his injury, he's now expected to miss the Week 3 game against Tampa Bay as well. Before Lindsay departed in the second quarter of the Broncos' Week 1 loss to the Titans, he held a 7-5 carry advantage over Gordon, who ultimately shouldered the brunt of the backfield snaps the rest of the way to finish with 78 yards and a score on 15 carries to go with three receptions for eight…read more

  • Set for large workload sans Lindsay

    Gordon's teammate Phillip Lindsay (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: A road game in Pittsburgh is about as bad a matchup can be for a running back, but Gordon's workload could lead to a nice fantasy stat line even if he isn't particularly efficient in terms of yards per touch. Gordon and Lindsay split work throughout the first half of last week's loss to the Titans, with Gordon then dominating after halftime when Lindsay was out of the game.

  • Mixed results in Broncos debut

    Gordon ran for 78 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries while losing one fumble during Monday's 16-14 loss to the Titans. He also caught all three of his targets for eight receiving yards during the contest.

    Analysis: Gordon's fumble came deep in Denver's own end early in the second quarter, and the Titans cashed in five plays later with a touchdown to knot the score at 7-7. The 27-year-old back is, unfortunately, no stranger to fumbles, with five balls coughed up over his past 13 regular-season appearances. Gordon didn't have much competition for touches in Week 1, as Phillip Lindsay was forced to exit the game with a foot injury after fielding just seven carries.

    Analysis: Gordon is thus good to go heading into Monday night's game against the Titans and set to work in tandem with returnee Phillip Lindsay. Though a time-share is to be expected with such a capable duo on hand, it's generally expected that Gordon will take a larger share of Denver's carries this coming season.

    Analysis: It's unclear if Gordon practiced at full speed. Last week, head coach Vic Fangio relayed that he didn't believe Gordon's injury was serious, and since the running back was on the field a little more than a week before the season opener, there shouldn't be much concern about his Week 1 availability.

  • Misses time again with rib injury

    Gordon did not practice Saturday during the team's scrimmage due to a rib injury, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Gordon suffered a rib injury a little less than two weeks ago, but he was cleared to return to practice Monday. While it's unclear if the veteran suffered some sort of setback, it's at least somewhat concerning that Gordon didn't participate in the team's scrimmage. Coach Vic Fangio also seemed to echo that concern but suggested Gordon would be back "sooner rather than later." Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay split the first-team reps in Gordon's absence Saturday.

    Gordon (ribs) returned to practice Monday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gordon was removed from Thursday's practice and held out over the weekend. His quick return confirms it was a minor injury, one that shouldn't have any impact on his Week 1 role. Early reports from training camp suggested Gordon and Phillip Lindsay had been working in an even split with the first-team offense, though it's mostly expected that Gordon will take a larger share in the regular season.

  • Remains day-to-day

    Gordon (ribs) remained sidelined at Sunday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: The running back missed Friday's practice as well, with coach Vic Fangio having noted that Gordon is considered day-to-day by the team. His absence frees up added practice reps behind Phillip Lindsay for both Royce Freeman and LeVante Bellamy.

  • Closes week with practice absence

    Gordon (ribs) isn't practicing Friday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gordon was limited Thursday after "tweaking" his ribs early in the practice session. His absence Friday should free up more reps for Royce Freeman and LeVante Bellamy behind Phillip Lindsay.

  • Adjusting to altitude

    Gordon says he's struggling with the altitude in Colorado, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After spending the first five seasons of his career in San Diego and Los Angeles, the veteran back signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Broncos, going from sea level to about one mile above. He's been splitting work evenly with Phillip Lindsay through the first few days of training camp, but it'll likely be Gordon getting the larger share of backfield snaps once the season begins. The adjustment to higher altitude typically takes a few weeks, so Gordon should be fine when the…read more

  • Willing to share with Lindsay

    Gordon anticipates working in a "one-two punch" with Phillip Lindsay (wrist) in the Denver backfield, ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold reports.

    Analysis: Broncos GM John Elway used the same terminology earlier this week, suggesting both Gordon and Lindsay will have key roles in the offense. Gordon's two-year, $16 million contract suggests he'll be the "one" in that one-two punch, though it's Lindsay who owns the impressive career average of 4.9 yards per carry. Gordon's mark of 4.0 YPC has been oft-cited as a criticism, and while there is some merit to the argument against him, it's also true that he's spent most of his career running behind…read more

  • Joins Denver backfield

    The Broncos have signed Gordon to a two-year deal worth $16 million that includes $13.5 million guaranteed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gordon will be joining a Denver backfield that also includes Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman, with Rapoport adding that the "lure of playing in the same division as the Chargers" appealed to the 2015 first-rounder, who reportedly had a better offer from another team.

  • Ready to test open market

    Gordon plans to test the market as a free agent, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: This doesn't necessarily mean he'll leave Los Angeles, but it does suggest Gordon won't re-sign with the Chargers before free agency opens. He struggled when he first returned from his contract holdout in October, eventually picking up some momentum down the stretch with 411 rushing yards and four TDs in a five-week stretch from early November to early December. Gordon will turn 27 in April and should attract interest from multiple teams, though he's unlikely to be paid as one of the top…read more

  • Racks up 122 yards, touchdown

    Gordon ran for 46 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries and caught six of seven targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 31-21 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: Gordon briefly put the Chargers back on top early in the second half, dashing through the Chiefs' defense for a five-yard touchdown, his third in his last two games. The Wisconsin product finished 2019 on a high note as his 122 total yards were his second-most on the year. Gordon's season started with a holdout, and he was never really able to regain his form. His 75.7 total yards per game and 3.8 yards per carry were both his lowest totals since his rookie season while his three fumbles were…read more

  • Two touchdowns salvage day

    Gordon carried the ball nine times for 15 yards and two touchdowns while catching six of his seven targets for 32 yards in the 24-17 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

    Analysis: A miserable fantasy day was salvaged thanks to two one-yard touchdowns, with Gordon capitalizing on excellent ball movement by the Chargers' passing attack. Austin Ekeler continues to be the more efficient running back on a per-touch basis, recording five passes for 58 yards and also adding 11 yards on the ground Sunday, but Gordon has essentially operated as the team's primary goal-line threat, scoring at least one touchdown in all but three games since Week 7. With the Chargers well out of…read more

  • Fumbles twice in blowout loss

    Gordon carried seven times for 28 yards and caught five of seven targets for an additional 36 yards during Sunday's 39-10 loss to the Vikings. He also lost two fumbles.

    Analysis: Gordon's fumbles set up a pair of Minnesota scores as the Vikings built a large lead, and he appeared to be benched for a brief period of time after the second turnover. Furthermore, his workload was rather limited anyway because of the lopsided nature of the game, though he did set a new season high for receiving yards in a game. Gordon had recorded at least 80 scrimmage yards in each of the last five games and should fare better in next Sunday's home matchup against the Raiders.

  • Finds end zone against Jags

    Gordon carried the ball 12 times for 55 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 45-10 rout of the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Austin Ekeler erupted for 213 scrimmage yards on only 13 touches in the win, but Gordon was still able to post solid numbers with his own workload. He's produced at least 80 scrimmage yards in five straight games, racking up 526 combined yards and four TDs during that stretch, but Gordon will face a much tougher opponent Week 15 when the Chargers host the Vikings.

  • Accumulates over 100 total yards

    Gordon carried the ball 20 times for 99 yards and also caught two his three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss at the hands of the Broncos.

    Analysis: That's now two consecutive games in which Gordon has failed to get into the end zone after a three-week stretch which saw the running back score four times. Still, it's encouraging to see Gordon continue to receive carries, as the 26-year-old has ran 20 or more times in three of the last four games and has hit at least 100 total yards in each one to boot. The change from Ken Whisenhunt to Shane Steichen at offensive coordinator could wind up being a career-saving move for Gordon, who has…read more

  • Totals 90 yards in defeat

    Gordon rushed 14 times for 69 yards and caught three of five targets for 21 yards in Monday night's 24-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Gordon had a few nice gains, including a 21-yard rush during the first quarter. That helped him put together a third straight game with at least 4.0 yards per carry, continuing his progress following a slow start. Although the tailback dropped a pass late, he also totaled 90 yards from scrimmage for the third outing in a row. Despite his recent touchdown streak ending, he'll take some nice momentum into the Chargers' bye week.

  • Keeps building momentum in loss

    Gordon rushed 22 times for 108 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 25 yards in the Chargers' 26-24 loss to the Raiders on Thursday.

    Analysis: Gordon led all rushers on the night in ground yards, as he continues to ascend back to the high bar he's previously set for himself. The fifth-year back now has three rushing scores over the last two games, and Thursday's 100-yard effort was the first of his truncated campaign. Gordon has also encouragingly logged at least 20 carries in back-to-back games just four days apart, and he'll look to come back even stronger after the extended layoff in a Week 11 Monday night showdown with the Chiefs…read more

  • Breaks free for solid outing

    Gordon carried the ball 20 times for 80 yards and two touchdowns and also caught three of his four targets for 29 yards in the 26-11 win Sunday over the Packers.

    Analysis: Gordon finally had his breakout game, feasting on a porous Packers run defense to rip off consistent chunks of yardage throughout the contest. The 26-year-old benefited immensely from positive field position; his first touchdown was essentially set up following a blocked punt midway through the third quarter, while the second came after the Packers forced a Chargers field goal near the goal line late in the fourth,. However, an offside penalty on the latter play tempted head coach Anthony Lynn…read more
