The Chargers didn’t have any major concerns about running back Melvin Gordon‘s health when he didn’t practice on Friday as he wasn’t given an injury designation for their game against the Titans.

The hamstring issue that cause him to skip their only practice in London got worse on Saturday, however, and the team announced he’d been downgraded to questionable. The trend continued on Sunday morning and Gordon was left out of the lineup.

The story said the Bolts wanted to 'protect' Gordon so the hamstring doesn't become a lingering thing. The Chargers are on a bye this week after the London game. According to reports, the field was slippery as well which could have been a factor.

Chargers’ RB Melvin Gordon, downgraded today due to a hamstring injury, “will most likely be a game-time decision,” per source with knowledge of the situation.

Melvin Gordon was added to the injury report Friday with a hamstring injury, and the Chargers downgraded him to questionable Saturday. Putting his Week 7 status in further doubt, Los Angeles signed RB Detrez Newsome to the 53-man roster and waived LB Emmanuel Ellerbee.

Those with Melvin Gordon on their fantasy teams need to be aware that the Chargers kickoff at 9:30 AM eastern time in London. That's plenty of time to make adjustments if Gordon is ruled out tomorrow, but set an alarm so you do not forget to take Gordon out of your lineups if he's inactive. Austin Ekeler would vault into an RB1 if Gordon is out against the Titans.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said running back Melvin Gordon's left foot is in a boot after suffering an ankle injury late in the game against the New York Jets.

"He's seeing the doctors tomorrow [Tuesday], and we'll know more about Melvin as we get going here," Lynn said. "Ankles can be kind of tricky. We can keep him out all week, and he's had enough reps where he can go out and play. He knows what he's doing, and that's something that we'll look at. But he's another guy that's probably going to come down to the end of the week."

Lynn said Gordon could be a game-time decision on Sunday in the team's regular-season finale against the Oakland Raiders. The Chargers are in the Wild Card hunt so they could certainly use Gordon if he's healthy. His status will need to be monitored this week.
