The Facts: The Chargers are reportedly not optimistic about Melvin Gordon's (MCL) chances for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Diehards Line:Gordon has missed the last two games with the injury and could return this week, but it appears that there is lack of optimism from the team. Austin Ekeler (neck, concussion) is also listed as doubtful and will likely miss this game. Justin Jackson would likely see the bulk of the work should both Gordon and Ekeler miss this week. This situation is worth monitoring closely.
