Translating…

Melvin Gordonmight be returning sooner than originally expected.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Gordon could potentially end his holdout early, a source confirmed. Rapoport added no date has been set, but a return this week is being considered.

Branson Wright of The Plain Dealerreported late Tuesday that theLos Angeles Chargersrunning back could return as early as Thursday.

The two-time Pro Bowler is not expected to play this weekendagainst the Dolphinseven if he shows up Thursday, Rapoport added. Should Gordon return this week, it’s more likely that he plays Oct. 6 versus theBroncos.

Chargerscoach Anthony Lynn told reporters Wednesday that he has yet to hear from Gordon regarding any potential return,per The Athletic.

Anthony Lynn said he has not heard fromMelvin Gordon. Wouldn’t speculate on whether Gordon would play Sunday if he reports this week. “I’ll cross that bridge when we get there,†Lynn said.#Chargers

Gordon has held out since training camp and skipped the first three games of the season. The 26-year-old has been seeking a new contract, but theChargershaven’t budged from the $10 million-per-year offer. The team granted Gordon’s camp to seek out a trade before the season started, but there’s been no traction on that front.

The running back was never going to pull aLe’Veon Belland sit out the entire season. Gordoneven admitted as much earlier this month. In order to hit free agency in 2020, Gordon needs an accrued season.

WithAustin EkelerandJustin Jacksonperforming well through three weeks, Gordon never gained an inch of leverage to force L.A.’s hand.

With theChargerssitting at 1-2, perhaps Gordon’s holdout could be ending soon.
