Gordon was signed just last month, but didn’t do enough in three preseason games to convince Baltimore’s brass to keep him. He had 17 carries for 59 yards, good for just 3.47 yards per carry.
Gordon was, of course, a member of the Broncos well into 2022 before finally getting cut after fumbling five times in 10 games. He had three fumbles in 2021 with Denver and four in 2020.
After the Broncos let him go, he signed with the Chiefs but never played a down. Gordon was a member of the practice squad when Kansas City won the Super Bowl.
Now, it could be the end of the road for Gordon in his NFL career, as he may have fumbled away his final chance.
(Update 8/30 4:08 p.m.) –
Gordon has been signed back to Baltimore’s practice squad.
Ravens signed RB Melvin Gordon and DB Daryl Worley to their practice squad.
