ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday that the Los Angeles Chargers and running back Melvin Gordon "have not made progress towards a new deal."
Schefter also tweeted that "Gordon still wants to return in time for the regular season, but he is prepared to sit out if no new deal is reached."
Gordon has held out of the Chargers' training camp in hopes of landing a new deal as he enters the final year of his contract. The 26-year-old said he would like to stay in L.A. at a press conference recorded by NFL Network field producer Bobby Belt.
