MELVIN GORDON III NEWS

In line to practice this week Coach Vic Fangio said Monday that he expects Gordon (hip/shoulder) "to practice at some point during the week," Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gordon was unable to practice at any point last week due to hip and shoulder injuries and eventually was deemed inactive this past Sunday at Kansas City. The Broncos will get back on the field Wednesday in preparation for a Week 14 matchup with the Lions, at which point he could be a limited participant. With Gordon out Week 13, Denver turned to rookie Javonte Williams to lead the backfield, which he did to the tune of career highs in snap share (79 percent), touches (29) and yards from scrimmage (178).

Officially out Gordon (hip/shoulder) has been officially ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact It's hardly surprising given Gordon was listed as doubtful on Friday's final injury report, but the official confirmation sets the stage for rookie Javonte Williams to take on the lion's share of the backfield workload. Mike Boone and Damarea Crockett represent the only other healthy backs for the Broncos.

Broncos running back Melvin Gordon doubtful for Chiefs game

Rookie running back Javonte Williams is preparing to get his first NFL start Sunday night at Kansas City with veteran Melvin Gordon III listed as doubtful

DECEMBER 3, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Doubtful for Week 13 Gordon (hip/shoulder) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, in the event that Gordon is likely on the inactive list for Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, Javonte Williams would be in line to head the Broncos' Week 13 backfield. Gordon and Williams have been working in a roughly dead-even timeshare all season, so Week 13 will likely be the first chance either running back gets an opportunity in a clear featured role.

Iffy for Week 13 Gordon (hip/shoulder) won't practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Per Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, Gordon is considered 50/50 to play this weekend against Kansas City, according to coach Vic Fangio. Given that, it seems likely that the running back will end up being officially listed as questionable for Sunday night's 8:20 ET kickoff. If Gordon ends up out or limited, Javonte Williams would be in line for increased work in Week 13, with Mike Boone also a candidate for added touches.

Will log Wednesday DNP Gordon (hip/shoulder) won't practice Wednesday, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact While Gordon evidently came out of Week 12 action banged up, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site suggests via coach Vic Fangio that the running back has a chance to return to practice Thursday. If that happens, Gordon would presumably be on track to suit up Sunday against Kansas City and work in tandem with fellow RB Javonte Williams.

Leading rusher against Bolts Gordon carried the ball 17 times for 83 yards and caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Chargers.

Impact While he was more effective on the ground than Javonte Williams, it was the rookie who scored a rushing TD and made a much bigger impact as a receiver. Gordon also saw his four-game touchdown streak end, but he'll look to start a new one in Week 13 against Kansas City.

Salvages day with another TD Gordon carried the ball nine times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Eagles. He also caught one of four targets for minus-2 yards.

Impact While Gordon continues to see an equal split of the backfield touches with rookie Javonte Williams, the veteran RB has been the more productive fantasy asset thanks to his ability to get into the end zone -- Gordon has scored in four straight games, amassing five TDs during that span. Heading into the Broncos' Week 11 bye, he has 683 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns (five rushing, two receiving) on the season.
