Report: Chargers' Gordon, Henry expected to play in wild-card game
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is expected to play in Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Baltimore Ravens despite limping off the field during the fourth quarter in Week 17, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Chargers are set to receive another boost to their offense, as tight end Hunter Henry, who tore his ACL in May, is also expected to suit up against the Ravens, Schefter adds.
The team expressed confidence late in the campaign that Henry would be able to return in the final stages of the regular season or for the playoffs. He's currently on the reserve/physically unable to perform list.
Henry has recorded 81 catches for 1,057 yards and 12 touchdowns over his first two NFL seasons.
Gordon has fought through various injuries this year, missing Week 7 with a hamstring injury and Weeks 13 to 15 with an MCL sprain.
