MELVIN GORDON III NEWS

Limited at practice Wednesday Gordon (thumb/hip) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Javonte Williams (knee) was also listed as limited, so the duo's status will need to be tracked as Sunday's game against the Bengals approaches. If both are available this weekend, they'll continue to work in a backfield time-share, one that resulted in Gordan (34 snaps) and Williams (33 snaps) each putting up fantasy-worthy numbers in Denver's 38-10 win over the Lions in Week 14.

Ends up practicing Gordon (thumb) is practicing Wednesday, after coach Vic Fangio said the running back would be held out, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

Impact Gordon returned to Sunday's win over the Lions after injuring his thumb and apparently doesn't want to miss practice time this week. He'll likely suit up Sunday against the Bengals and continue sharing work with Javonte Williams.

Held out to start week Gordon (thumb) isn't practicing Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Gordon returned to Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions after injuring his thumb, ultimately finishing with 24 carries for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He's also dealt with hip and shoulder injuries of late, even missing Week 13, but he'll likely try to tough it out this Sunday against the Bengals in a matchup between potential AFC wild-card contenders.

Dealing with sprained thumb Gordon suffered a sprained thumb during Sunday's blowout win over the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Gordon was able to re-enter Sunday's contest after initially suffering the injury, and he ended up handling 24 carries for 111 yards and two scores, so it doesn't appear as though his involvement will need to be limited going forward. Of course, the Broncos do also have a rookie who's proven more than capable of carrying the load in Javonte Williams, which could influence the team's decision-making if Gordon's injury ends up being more serious than expected. Denver will take on Cincinnati in Week 15.

Scores twice in return Gordon carried the ball 24 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.

Impact The veteran back came into the game nursing hip and shoulder injuries that kept him on the sidelines last week, and Gordon seemed like he could end up missing most of another contest after he suffered a hand injury early in Sunday's action. He quickly returned to the field, however, and turned in arguably his most productive effort of the season as the Broncos steamrolled the short-handed Lions. Per Mike Klis of 9News Denver, Gordon doesn't expect his latest injury to cost him any time, so he should again be a big part of the game plan in Week 15 against the Bengals.

DECEMBER 12, 2021 • DENVERBRONCOS.COM

Active for Week 14 Gordon (hip/shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact After missing one game, Gordon -- who was limited in practice this past week -- is poised to reprise his timeshare role with rookie Javonte Williams, who carried 23 times for 102 yards and caught six passes (on nine targets) for 76 yards and a TD in Gordon's absence against Kansas City last weekend. It's an arrangement that has resulted in Gordon averaging 12.3 carries for 55 yards with five rushing touchdowns through 11 contests, to go along with 22 catches (on 30 targets) for 166 yards and two receiving scores. Meanwhile, Williams is averaging 11.7 carries for 55.8 yards and a pair of TDs on the ground in 12 outings while chipping in 33 catches on 42 targets for 269 yards and two receiving scores.

Impact Assuming the running back (who was limited at practice this week) is available, look for him to reenter a timeshare with rookie Javonte Williams, who carried 23 times for 102 yards and caught six passes (on nine targets) for 76 yards and a TD while handling a lead role in Gordon's absence during the Broncos' Week 13 loss to Kansas City. Though things appear to be trending in the right direction for Gordon, it still will be worth checking back on his status as Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff approaches.

Scheduled for limited practice Head coach Vic Fangio said Gordon (hip/shoulder) will be a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact That level of practice activity represents no change from what Gordon was able to do Wednesday, but the fact that he's on the field for consecutive days to begin Week 14 prep bodes well for his chances of returning from a one-game absence and playing Sunday against the Lions. Even if Gordon enters the weekend without a designation, he won't necessarily be a lock to step back in as Option 1A in what has been a relatively even timeshare out of the backfield with Javonte Williams this season. While Gordon was out of the lineup for last week's loss to the Chiefs, the rookie delivered a head-turning performance in his first look as Denver's lead back, carrying 23 times for 102 yards while adding six receptions for 76 yards and a score on nine targets.

Back at practice Gordon (hip/shoulder) will practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Gordon didn't practice at all last week before sitting out Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, so he's seemingly taking a step in the right direction as the Broncos begin Week 14 prep. If he's able to to return to action this weekend against the Lions, Gordon would likely be part of a backfield timeshare with rookie Javonte Williams, who thrived while filling a workhorse role last week for the first time in his young career.
