Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon practiced at "full speed" on Tuesday, head coach Anthony Lynn said, according to Eric D. Williams of ESPN.

Gordon is reportedly expected to return for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens after missing the last three contests with an MCL injury.

The Chargers went 3-0 in his absence - including Thursday's crucial 29-28 victory over the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs - and sit second in the AFC West with a record of 11-3. They're currently riding a four-game winning streak.

Gordon has rushed for 802 yards and added 453 receiving yards with a total of 13 touchdowns over 10 games this season.

Lynn also said running back Austin Ekeler and wide receiver Keenan Allen didn't practice Tuesday, Williams adds. Ekeler missed last week's game due to a concussion and a neck issue, while Allen was pulled from the contest after suffering a hip injury in the first half.
