The Facts: Melvin Gordon is dealing with an ankle sprain, but thinks that he will be able to play through it in Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Diehards Line:The swelling on Gordon's ankle is minimal at this time and all signs are pointing for him to suit up on Sunday. This is a must win game for the Chargers if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive, so barring any major setbacks, we expect Gordon to play. He draws a favorable matchup against the Raiders who have allowed four rushing touchdowns to opposing backs in their last four games.
