Melvin Gordon III Added To Active Roster

Melvin Gordon III Added To Active Roster

11 months ago

The Baltimore Ravens signed running back Melvin Gordon III from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday and placed rookie running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Mitchell tore his ACL in Sunday night's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, which will put an end to what was quickly becoming an exciting first year in the NFL. The 30-year-old Gordon will now provide backfield depth behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill for the rest of the regular season/postseason. The former first-rounder from Wisconsin has only seen action in two games for the Ravens in 2023, rushing the rock 13 times for 53 yards while catching all three of his targets for an additional 46 yards through the air. Gordon remains off the fantasy radar for now as long as both Edwards and Hill are healthy.
