Gordon, who is still recovering from a January knee procedure to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, may not be fully cleared in advance of the Chargers' offseason program, which begins in mid-April, ESPN.com reports.
That said, there's been nothing to suggest that Gordon won't be full speed well before the start of the 2016 campaign, with coach Mike McCoy looking forward to seeing more big plays out of the running back in his second year as a pro. Gordon finished up his rookie season with 184 carries for 641 yards in 14 games, to go along with 33 catches for 192 yards. After having scored 32 total touchdowns his final college season at Wisconsin in 2014, Gordon did not find the end zone once last season, but the Chargers remain hopeful that improved blocking from their offensive line, coupled with added experience and confidence on Gordon's part should translate into better results for him in 2016.
