  • 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. Royce Freeman finished the night with only two touches on six snaps, remaining an afterthought even after Lindsay's…read more

  • 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. Lindsay's status for Week 2 remains…read more

  • Ready to go

    Gordon (ribs) isn't listed on the Broncos' Week 1 injury report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    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.

  • Back at practice Friday

    Gordon (ribs) participated in Friday's practice, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    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.

  • Cleared for practice

    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.

  • Day-to-day

    Gordon, who exited practice early Thursday due to a rib injury, is considered day-to-day, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: The running back didn't practice Friday but isn't expected to miss much time beyond that, according to coach Vic Fangio. In Gordon's absence, Royce Freeman and LeVante Bellamy figure to see added practice reps behind Phillip Lindsay.

  • 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.

  • Dealing with rib issue

    Gordon was limited in practice after tweaking his ribs early on during Thursday's practice session, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Per Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com, coach Vic Fangio didn't have an immediate update on Gordon's rib issue, but if the running back is forced to miss any time, added reps will be available for 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
