Gordon Chargers plans to report Thursday.

Midfielder Melvin Gordon contacted the Los Angeles Chargers and told them he was planning to report Thursday, ending his 64-day stint, ESPN sources said.

Although he is now ready to join his teammates, Gordon expects 2019 to be his last season with the Chargers, said a source to Josina Anderson of ESPN.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that if Gordon reported back this week, he would not be competing in his team's Sunday road contest against Miami's no-win Dolphins.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer was the first to announce that Gordon was ending his activities.

Chargers (1-2) will likely request a two-week training list exemption, which will allow the team time to assess when the racehorse is fit and ready to play.

"I do not think you walk in a camp and play right away without going through any practice," Lynn told reporters Wednesday. "You can run and do any exercise you want, but it's hard to simulate real football."

Gordon and his representation must also determine how they will handle the fines accumulated during his absence.

According to the league 's collective agreement, Gordon can be fined up to $ 30,000 a day and nearly $ 330,000 per game for pre – season and regular season games that are not allowed. he missed – a total of up to $ 2.5 million.

According to one source, the shippers will seek to collect this money.

Los Angeles is the No. 13 NFL rushing through the first three games without Gordon, averaging 112 yards per game.

Starting from Gordon, Austin Ekeler has 160 rushing yards and four touchdowns in total.

Gordon, 26, is expected to receive $ 5.605 million in the final season of his rookie contract. Chargers general manager Tom Telesco announced just before the start of the regular season that the team had postponed negotiations with Gordon at the end of the season and said that if Gordon chose to report, he would play in the part of his current contract.

Gordon wants a contract extension that will place him among the highest-paid defensemen in the league, such as Todd Gurley, David Johnson and The Veon Bell, who earn an average of $ 13 to $ 14 million a year. The Chargers had offered Gordon a new contract that would have doubled his salary to about $ 10 million a year.
