Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett met with running back Melvin Gordon today. Hackett tried to explain why Gordon played only eight snaps in Monday night’s game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt happened; I’m glad we hashed it out,\u201d Gordon said before Wednesday’s practice, via Jeff Legwold of ESPN.<\/p>\n

Gordon said after the game the coaching staff did not communicate with him about his lack of playing time.<\/p>\n

Was he satisfied with Hackett’s explanation Wednesday?<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, kind of, sort of, yeah,\u201d Gordon said. <\/p>\n

Gordon started the two games since Javonte Williams went on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury. But Gordon received no second half carries against the Chargers and finished with only three carries for 8 yards in the loss. He appeared frustrated on the sideline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey caught some clips of me being, like, pissed, but that was more to us not being able to drive, and you know, going three-and-out, just not playing good football,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cPeople made it seem like I was just mad, kind of standoffish, but if you were really paying attention, that wasn’t the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate I’m in the media for the wrong reasons . . . because I don’t want people to look at me and think ‘it’s always something’ rather than ‘the guy’s out here killing it.’ . . . It’s adversity. This chapter of my life, it’s just being tested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hackett declared Gordon the starter for Sunday’s game against the Jets, prompting Gordon to ask rhetorically: \u201cWho started last week?\u201d <\/p>\n

Gordon has 55 carries for 201 yards and a touchdown this season, but he also has four fumbles.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
