Melvin Gordon is back
Sources: The holdout is ending. #Chargers RB Melvin Gordon is, in fact, reporting to the team tomorrow. He won’t play this week, but he is planning to be back in the fold with his teammates.

From Deadspin....
"Gordon’s situation showed just how little negotiation leverage any running back has in today’s NFL. Though he was a crucial part of the Chargers offense for four years—rushing 897 times and catching 182 passes—his absence at running back isn’t why the team is 1-2. Austin Ekeler, Gordon’s primary replacement, has averaged over 122 total yards per game so far this season, and presents himself as major competition for Gordon as the returning back tries to play himself into a big contract this offseason. In the meantime, he’s out nearly a million bucks without anything to show for it."
