Gordon is expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Rams, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Gordon didn't suit up for Denver's Week 2 preseason win over Seattle, but after the game coach Vic Fangio said that the 28-year-old running back will see time on Aug. 28. The running back returned to practice Tuesday after suffering a minor groin injury, but it appears the Broncos want to take a cautious approach this preseason. When the regular season begins, Gordon and rookie Javonte Williams figure to be used as a one-two punch out of the backfield. The veteran's absence has provided Williams with valuable playing time in the first two weeks of the preseason, as well as Royce Freeman, who figures to be the team's No. 3 RB while Mike Boone is sidelined with a quadriceps injury.
