Melvin Gordon: Practice squad contract expires

Gordon's practice squad contract with Kansas City expired Tuesday, Charles Goldman of the USA Today reports.

The Chiefs signed Gordon to their practice squad back in November after he was let go by the Broncos, but he wasn't elevated for game action at any point by the eventual Super Bowl LVII champions. Given that Isiah Pacheco, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and La'Mical Perine are the only running backs Kansas City has under contract for 2023, it's possible that Gordon, who turns 30 in April, could re-sign with the team as a depth option. The 2015 first-round pick could also look for an opportunity with another franchise where he might have a clearer path to backfield touches in 2023.
