Melvin Gordon is expected to see his first action as the Los Angeles Chargers host the Denver Broncos. The Chargers running back held out for 64 days in a contract dispute before reporting on Sept. 26.

He was activated prior to last week's game at Miami but did not play.

The Chargers will be missing defensive end Melvin Ingram, who suffered a hamstring injury in the first half against the Dolphins.

Dallas receiver Michael Gallup is back against Green Bay after missing what was considered the minimum two weeks coming off arthroscopic knee surgery.
