Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon plans to end his holdout and rejoin the team Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports' Mike Jones.

The person requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the situation.

NFL Network, which first reported Gordon's pending return Wednesday, added that Gordon will not be available to play Sunday at Miami but is expected back on the field in the Chargers' following game, Oct. 6 against Denver.

Gordon, a two-time Pro Bowl honoree in the last year of his rookie contract, had been holding out with hopes of securing a new deal. He was due to make $5.605 million this year and recorded 885 rushing yards and 14 total touchdowns for Los Angeles last year.

Chargers general manager Tom Telesco told reporters earlier this month that the team would not renegotiate a contract with Gordon during the season.

"When or if Melvin reports, he'll play this season under his current contract," Telesco told reporters on Sept. 1.

Gordon could be fined up to $1.2 million and will lose more than $989,000 in base salary from the three games missed, according to ESPN. He'll still earn the remaining $4.6 million of his base salary.

Gordon, 26, will join a Chargers team that is 1-2. Austin Ekeler, who has received the bulk of Gordon's carries in his absence, has recorded 160 rushing yards on 38 carries.
