Meanwhile, training camp goes on without him.Gordon’s backups Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson are taking advantage of Gordon’s absence.“Definitely, [a good opportunity] for all of us,” Jackson said Thursday after a joint practice with the Rams, via NFL.com. “Obviously when [Gordon’s] here, he gets the majority of the first-team reps. Just for us to be able to mesh with the offensive line and all those guys. The more reps you get, the more comfortable you are playing with the guys around you.”Jackson and Ekeler took over the running back duties in the four games Gordon missed for injury last season, and the Chargers went 4-0. Ekeler had 958 total yards and six touchdowns last season in his second season, while Jackson had 341 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie a year ago.“They’re working hard,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said. “[Jackson] is doing a good job Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys Stitched , and Austin had a couple of nice runs today. I’m really happy with the development of some of these young guys.”The Chargers have six running backs on their 90-player roster, with Gordon on the did not report list. Gordon’s absence has given the backs who are in camp “Even if [Gordon] was here, we’d have the same mentality,” Ekeler said. “We wish he was here. Shoot, he would help our team. He’s a Pro Bowl running back. But even if he was here, we’d still have to move forward, and even if he’s not here we still have to move forward.” It already was known that the Pro Football Hall of Fame would have a Centennial Class for 2020. What wasn’t known was how many. As it stands now, the maximum number of inductees in a year is eight.

The full board still must approve the plan during their meeting Aug. 2.“It is extremely elite company, and it’s not the Hall of very, very good. It’s the Hall of Fame, and so it should be difficult to make it,” Baker said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “But there’s a lot of guys through the years [who have slipped through the cracks]. We have several guys who are on all-decade teams who aren’t in the Hall of Fame, so this is an opportunity with the Centennial coming up. What we’ve looked at potentially and has been approved, at least in concept, by our operating board . . . is that potentially we would have 20 Hall of Famers enshrined for the year 2020.“This year we have eight, so this would be quite a few guys Youth Trey Pipkins Jersey , but it would be the five normal modern-era players elected from 15 finalists and then 10 seniors, three contributors and two [coaches]. But again, I want to stress that that’s got to be something that’s passed by our board on Friday, Aug. 2.”The seven first-team all-decade players in the senior pool would have their best shot at earning election. Only one of those, former Cowboys safety Cliff Harris, has ever made it on the list of finalists, according to Rick Gosselin of the Talk of Fame.Former coach Don Coryell, a five-time finalist, also likely would have a great chance at finally earning his due. The Pro Football Hall of Fame currently has 318 Hall of Famers.
