Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon won’t play in the team’s Week 6 game against the New England Patriots, but it isn’t due to his DUI earlier this week.
Gordon did not travel to New England with the Broncos due to an illness, according to Mike Klis of Denver’s 9News. The team made the news official Saturday, downgrading Gordon to out against the Patriots. Tight end Noah Fant was also ruled out in for the contest.
Gordon was cited late Tuesday night for driving under the influence.
