Melvin Gordon III's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed running back Melvin Gordon III to their practice squad on Friday and also elevated wide receiver Dan Chisena and linebacker Josh Ross from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster for Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Houston Texans. The Ravens waived Gordon earlier this week to make room for Dalvin Cook on the active, but he's now back in Baltimore as extra RB depth. Cook will serve as the No. 3 back behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill this weekend, while Gordon will most likely be a healthy scratch. Chisena, 26, was cut from the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad just under two weeks ago and now will give Baltimore extra receiver depth for the Divisional Round.

The Baltimore Ravens are likely to re-sign running back Melvin Gordon III to their practice squad after waiving him on Wednesday to make room for Dalvin Cook, according to a source. The 30-year-old had been limited to a reserve role since signing with the Ravens before the start of training camp in July and finished with only 26 carries for 81 yards and one touchdown during the regular season behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. In the Week 18 regular season finale, Gordon fumbled for the 19th time in his career, the most by a non-quarterback since 2015. The former 15th overall pick in the 2015 draft by the Chargers, Gordon has rushed for 6,543 yards and 56 touchdowns in nine NFL seasons, but he'll be nothing more than RB depth for the Ravens for as long as they stay alive in the postseason.

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Wednesday that they have waived running back Melvin Gordon III. Gordon's departure makes room on the active roster for Dalvin Cook, who could be a pretty big part of Baltimore's backfield as they look for more production in the postseason next to Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. The 30-year-old Gordon saw action in just four games for the Ravens during the 2023 regular season and had only 26 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown and added three catches for 46 yards. Cook, who didn't look good at all earlier in the season with the New York Jets, will most likely serve as the Ravens' No. 3 running back behind Edwards and Hill during the postseason. With quarterback Lamar Jackson also gaining big chunks of yards with his legs, Cook won't be very appealing at all in fantasy playoff lineups.
