michaelredd9 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Ruh roh Melvin Gordon downgraded to questionable Posted by Mike Florio on October 20, 2018, 4:42 PM EDT https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ The Chargers face the Titans in London on Sunday morning, and there’s currently a greater chance than there was a day ago that running back Melvin Gordon won’t be available to play. The Chargers have downgraded Gordon to questionable with a hamstring injury. To make matters more ominous, they have promoted running back Detrez Newsome to the 53-man roster. Gordon was limited in practice on Friday, but he had no injury designation. Coach Anthony Lynn downplayed the situation as the product of dehydration arising from the long flight to England. If Gordon can’t play, Austin Ekeler could be in line for a bigger role. Even if Gordon plays, there’s a chance he won’t have his normal workload.

Hopefully Coach Lynn's explanation is true. I myself have gotten dehydrated a few times while flying. Ain't no way I'm spending $4 on a water. Way to stand up for consumer rights, Melvin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my family of four, I bring at least a gallon of water on the plane... what if we're stuck on the runway for hours? also, do you buy the team's "explanation"? I do the same thing. A lot airports even have water fountains on airside that are made for water bottles and disperse filtered water. The team might be playing shenanigans and wanted the Titans to prepare for Melvin while knowing he would be out. I think there is at least a 20% chance that Melvin doesn't play. Fortunately, it is a 9:30am ET kickoff so we should know beforehand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 sucks. I worked all weekend and usually do a league update sweep Sunday morning. This being the early game , I totally missed it and he is in my lineup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFlash Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I had to start Ekeler with Hyde being traded and not playing this week. Hopefully LAC jumps out to a big lead and use run control to burn clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
