Melvin Gordon could end his holdout soon, Adam Schefter reports. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Though there isn’t a firm date set for his return, Schefter reports that Gordon could report to the Chargers soon. A Tuesday report from Branson Wright of the Cleveland Plain Dealer names Thursday as a possible report date, but that’s still an unconfirmed rumor. It’s unclear if the move is precipitated by Austin Ekeler’s fantastic play over the first three weeks of the season, but it is clear that Gordon has lost leverage in his contract demands. When he returns, Gordon should be the starter again and a locked-in RB1, though he may be eased back into action after so much time off.
