SAN DIEGO -- We’ve seen enough.

San Diego Chargers running back Melvin Gordon did not set the world on fire during the preseason, totaling just 45 yards on 20 carries, averaging just 2.3 yards per carry.

That would have been a halftime of work for Gordon at Wisconsin.

But a marathon, 16-game NFL schedule looms, and another 10 carries on the dicey turf at Levi’s Stadium is more of a risk than reward for the Chargers.
