Published Jun. 30, 2017 6:28 p.m. ET

Things went from worse to even more terrible in Week 14 when Chargers running back Melvin Gordon was carted off the field with an injury. ]

The San Diego Chargers seem to be toiling away in a lost season, but things continue to get worse when they so desperately need to get better. An injury riddled season has forced the Chargers into a hole that will end without a trip to a playoffs. It now appears that their season will be bookended by devastating injuries to their top offensive stars.

Running back Melvin Gordon was carted off the field int he first quarter against the Carolina Panthers. No immediate updates were available about his status, but seeing the cart rolled out is perhaps the worst sign you can get. Gordon appeared to hurt his hip on the play, which is relieving in that it doesn’t appear to be a knee injury taking him out of the game.

Still, the Chargers losing Gordon is a death rattle to a season that has seen far too much of this injury pain.
