How big is the loss of Melvin Gordon?

The loss of Melvin Gordon for the next few weeks is obviously big. Just how big of a loss is it? Can the offense maintain their same level of play without him?

Richard Wade: I think the loss of Melvin Gordon is substantial, but not catastrophic. At the end of the day, no matter how good a running back is, and Gordon has been very good, they are still just a running back. Austin Ekeler is not as good as Gordon in some areas, but he is actually better in others.
