Melvin Gordon held out throughout training camp, the preseason and each of Los Angeles’ first three games. His camp demanded an extension or to be traded.
However, the 26-year-old back had to report at some point soon in order to accrue a season and become a free agent next March. He’s now decided to do that.
At 1-2 on the season, the Chargers couldn’t be happier to get Gordon back. He’s combined for 4,372 total yards and 38 touchdowns over the past three years.
