Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon sprained his ankle during his team's Week 17 victory over the Denver Broncos this past weekend, but he will be good to go for the Chargers' Wild Card Round matchup against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.

Gordon also said that he feels healthier now than he did during his Los Angeles' regular-season game against the Ravens in Week 16, according to Eric Williams of ESPN. At that time, Gordon was coming off of a knee injury that sidelined him for three games.

On the year, Gordon rushed for 885 yards and 10 touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. In addition, he hauled in 50 receptions for 490 yards and four scores en route to his second Pro Bowl appearance.

The 25-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Wisconsin, was originally selected by the Chargers in the first round (15th pick overall) of the 2015 NFL Draft.

He had an underwhelming rookie campaign, recording just 641 yards on the ground without a touchdown. The following year, Gordon made the Pro Bowl, registering 997 yards while reaching the end zone 10 times. He also caught 41 passes for 419 yards and a couple of scores.

Then, in 2017, Gordon racked up 1,105 yards and eight touchdowns while snaring 58 balls for 476 yards and four scores as a receiver.

Los Angeles finished the regular season with a record of 12-4, marking its first double-digit win campaign since 2009 and its first playoff appearance since 2013. The Chargers have not won a postseason game since the 2008-09 season.
