Enters not guilty plea Gordon's attorneys entered a not guilty plea for his DUI charge from Oct. 14, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Impact Gordon recently had a virtual court hearing, and his next hearing is scheduled for Feb. 24. It sounds like the case will be resolved within the next few months, so Gordon could be suspended for the start of the 2021 regular season. He'll be entering the second season of a two-year contract after rushing for 986 yards and nine touchdowns in his first year with the Broncos.

Wraps up solid season Gordon carried the ball 26 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and caught four of six targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 32-31 loss to the Raiders.

Impact His first season in Denver proved to be a fruitful one, as Gordon finished the campaign with 986 rushing yards and nine TDs in 15 games, although he didn't contribute as much as a receiver as he had in his last few years as a Charger. With Phillip Lindsay a restricted free agent in the offseason, Gordon could well find himself taking on a bigger workload in 2021 if the Broncos don't prioritize bringing in more backfield help next year.

Solid performance in loss Gordon carried the ball 16 times for 79 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Chargers.

Impact He just missed posting a yards per carry of at least 5.0 for the fourth straight game, and Gordon saw his largest carry volume since Week 7. With Phillip Lindsay (hip) on IR, expect Gordon to see a big workload again in Week 17 against a vulnerable Raiders defense that just gave up 169 scrimmage yards and two TDs to the Dolphins' Myles Gaskin.

During that same three-game stretch, Freeman earned 12 touches, but with his status up in the air for Week 16, Gordon could see 20-plus touches for the third time on the campaign.

Notches pair of rushing scores Gordon ran for 61 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries, adding four receptions for 20 yards during Saturday's 48-19 loss to Buffalo.

Impact The two-time Pro-Bowl back was able to fight through a shoulder issue that curtailed his practice reps throughout the week, notching his third 2020 performance of multiple rushing scores during a lopsided loss to the Bills. Gordon and Phillip Lindsay split the RB carries at an even 11-11, however, the 27-year-old was far more effective in generating a 5.5 yards-per-carry average (compared to Lindsay's 3.5 YPC). The Wisconsin product continues to ride a solid streak of play with 429 scrimmage yards and four total TDs over his past five outings. He hopes to fare better on the ground during a Week 16 rematch against his former team, after posting just 26 yards on eight carries versus the Chargers on Nov. 1.

Suits up Saturday Gordon (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday afternoon's game against the Bills.

Impact As is backfield mate Phillip Lindsay (hip). The stage is thus set for Gordon -- who logged 13 carries for 68 yards and three catches for 23 yards in Denver's Week 14 triumph over the Panthers -- and Lindsay (11 carries for 24 yards, two catches for seven yards) to continue to work in a timeshare on the ground Saturday. That said, Gordon's been more involved as a pass catcher this season and has notched seven TDs (in 12 games) to Lindsay's one (in 10 contests). The duo will take aim at a surging Buffalo defense that held Pittsburgh's lead back, James Conner, to 10 carries for 18 yards in a 26-15 win this past Sunday, but overall has still surrendered an average of 119.9 rushing yards per game to date.

Expected to play Saturday Gordon (shoulder) is expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Bills, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

Impact Gordon and backfield mate Phillip Lindsay (hip) are both expected to play versus the Bills, an eventuality which should result in the duo splitting carries fairly evenly, as usual. An official word on Denver's backfield will come when the team's inactives are released ahead of Saturday's 4:30 ET kickoff.

Impact While the duo's status will need to be monitored prior to Saturday's 4:30 ET kickoff, Mike Klis of 9News Denver previously relayed via Fangio that that both backs should be fine by the time the game rolls around. If that's the case, Gordon (who logged 13 carries in Week 14) and Lindsay (who carried 11 times) will continue to work in a fairly even time-share in Week 15.

Should be good for Saturday Gordon (shoulder) will be limited in Wednesday's practice but is on the right track for Saturday's game against the Bills, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Gordon nicked up his shoulder late during last weekend's win over the Panthers, and he couldn't practice in any capacity Tuesday, so even limited reps represent tangible progress. Coach Vic Fanigo also said that backfield mate Phillip Lindsay (hip) should be available Week 15.

DNP on Tuesday Gordon (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Gordon banged up his shoulder in the late stages of Denver's Week 14 victory at Carolina, ending the game with 13 carries for 68 yards and three receptions (on three targets) for 23 yards. Because the Broncos are operating on a short week ahead of Saturday's contest against the Bills, they may just be managing Gordon's reps, especially with Phillip Lindsay (hip) listed as limited Tuesday. With both of the team's top two running backs banged up, Royce Freeman is the only healthy member at the position on the active roster.

No suspension this season Gordon (shoulder) has had his plea and sentencing on a DUI charge scheduled for Jan. 14 and will not be at risk of a suspension in 2020, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Gordon will finish out the 2020 campaign without risk of punishment from the NFL after having appeared in court Monday, per Klis. However, he could be handed a possible suspension come 2021. That isn't to say that the 27-year-old's immediate availability isn't without question, considering that he injured his shoulder late in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Panthers. Gordon has amassed 233 total yards in his last two appearances, but his participation in practice will need to be monitored ahead of Denver's Week 15 game against the Bills.

Dings shoulder against Panthers Gordon (shoulder) ran for 68 yards on 13 carries, adding three receptions for 23 yards during Sunday's 32-27 win against Carolina.

Impact Gordon banged up his shoulder late in Sunday's win, providing clarification for why Phillip Lindsay shouldered the majority of the RB work over the latter stages of the contest, per Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site. Practice involvement for the two-time Pro-Bowl back will merit monitoring this upcoming week, but he has been rather efficient of late when on the field, delivering 5.5 yards per carry with two rushing scores over his past five outings. Immediately prior to that sample, Gordon had been held to 4.0 yards per carry or worse in three consecutive games Weeks 7 through 9. An upcoming matchup against the Bills is not as formidable as it was this time last year, with Buffalo ranking 24th against the run in 2020.
