Anthony Lynn: Melvin Gordon Will Be \'No. 1 Guy\' When He\'s Ready

Anthony Lynn told reporters on Thursday that once Melvin Gordon is up to speed, he will be the Los Angeles Chargers\' starter moving forward.
\"He was our starter for a reason,\" Lynn said. \"I like the way Austin [Ekeler] and JJ [Justin Jackson] have been working. They\'ve done an excellent job and proved they can play in this league. They will still have a major role in this offense, but as soon as Melvin\'s ready, he\'ll go back to being our No. 1 guy.\"
Gordon ended his 64-day holdout due to a contract impasse with the team this week.
Lynn said Gordon is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, although he could travel with the team.
