It appears the Los Angeles Chargers are going to get a big boost with Melvin Gordon expected to return for their game against the Seattle Seahawks. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN who was citing his source, Gordon is good to go after being listed as questionable throughout the week.

Gordon missed the game two weeks ago because of a hamstring injury but with the Chargers on the bye last week it gave Gordon an extra week to rest the injury, and make sure he was 100 percent ready for the start. Earlier this week Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said Gordon wanted to be out on the field. Via ESPN.
“We'll see. I don't want to speak for Melvin, but if he's feeling well I know he wants to play.”
Gordon was a full participant in Friday's practice and shouldn't have any limitations against the Seahawks. He is going to be a big boost for the Chargers against a Seahawks team that is suddenly surging.
The Seahawks have won four of the last five games with the only loss being by two points against the Los Angeles Rams. The defense has stepped up the last two weeks giving up only 17 points total so Gordon and the rest of the offense are going to have some tough sledding.
For the Seahawks their running back Chris Carson is a true game-time decision because of a hip injury. He is expected to test the injury during pregame warmups and then will make a decision on his status for the game.
