Melvin Gordon said he returned now because “we’re 1-2.” But the running back won’t help the Chargers by sitting on the bench.With Justin Jackson out for Sunday http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-raekwon-mcmillan-jersey , Gordon could play a limited role against the Dolphins.“I’ve said all along there’s a chance,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn told the media Friday, via NFL Media. “He’s looked fine.
