Broncos' Hackett Says Melvin Gordon III Will Start vs. Jets Sunday The two-time Pro Bowler will start against the Jets after being benched in Monday’s game against the Chargers.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Named starter this week Head coach Nathaniel Hackett said Gordon will start Sunday's game against the Jets, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Hackett's proclamation comes as a surprise just two days after Gordon was limited to three touches and a 16 percent snap share despite getting the start in a 19-16 overtime loss to the Chargers. The Broncos used Latavius Murray (15 carries for 66 yards) as their lead runner after the first couple drives, while Mike Boone (one carry, four targets) came on for the field frequently for passing situations. The backfield rotation will need to be closely monitored each week, with Hackett noting Wednesday that Murray will also continue to get work, according to Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com.

RB Melvin Gordon on lack of carries vs. Chargers: 'I'm not gonna lie, it hurt a little' Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon after Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Loses grip on role Gordon had three rushes for eight yards in Monday's 19-16 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Gordon started the game in his typical role as Denver's lead back, tallying three carries on the opening drive. However, he was benched from there, with Latavius Murray racking up 15 carries in his place. Gordon entered the game with a questionable tag due to a neck and rib injury, though he told media after the game that he was physically fine to play, per George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette. It's unclear why the swtich was made or if it will carry forward, but Gordon has fumbled four times -- two were lost -- on only 55 carries to begin the season.

Suits up Monday Gordon (neck/ribs) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

Impact Gordon was limited in practice this past week, but he'll be out there Monday night, and barring any in-game setbacks he's in line to continue to lead Denver's backfield, with Mike Boone and possibly Latavius Murray also factoring into the mix given that Javonte Williams (knee) is out for the rest of the season. They'll be facing a Chargers defense that has allowed an average of 130.4 rushing yards per game to date.

Questionable for Monday Gordon (neck/ribs) is listed as questionable Monday's contest against the Chargers, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It seems as if Gordon has a decent shot at playing in the pivotal divisional contest given the veteran practiced at limited capacity all week, but the team will likely have more information available throughout the weekend. The 29-year-old should be primed for a positive fantasy outing if he's able to play, considering the Chargers have allowed 100-yard rushers in three consecutive games.

Logs another limited practice Gordon (neck/ribs) remained a limited participant at practice Friday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact At this stage, there's nothing to suggest that Gordon's status for Monday night's game against the Chargers is in any danger, but he'll likely need to be listed as a full participant in Saturday's practice in order to avoid carrying a designation into the contest. Assuming he's active versus Los Angeles, Gordon is in line to continue to lead the Broncos' backfield, with Mike Boone and possibly Latavius Murray also factoring into the mix now that Javonte Williams (knee) is out for the season.

Limited Thursday Gordon (neck/ribs) was listed as limited at practice Thursday.

Impact As was fellow running back Mike Boone (foot), with the duo among 12 players listed as limited by the Broncos on Thursday. Gordon, who has taken over as Denver's lead back with Javonte Williams (knee) out for the season, now will have two more chances to upgrade to full practice participation ahead of Monday night's game against the Chargers. If so, he should approach the contest minus an injury designation, as was the case leading up to his team's Week 5 loss to the Colts.

Garners 103 total yards in loss Gordon rushed 15 times for 54 yards and secured all three targets for 49 yards during the Broncos' 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts on Thursday night.

Impact Playing in his first game as the true lead back in the absence of Javonte Williams (knee), Gordon turned in a gutsy effort on the ground against one of the league's elite run defenses. He rounded out his relatively modest production nicely through the air, with his reception and receiving yardage tally checking in third on the night for the Broncos. Gordon also encouragingly remained free of turnovers after committing four fumbles and losing two over the first four games of the season, and he'll aim for even stronger production against his old Chargers squad in a Week 6 Monday night road showdown Oct. 17.
