Back with Baltimore
The Ravens signed Gordon to their practice squad Friday.
ANALYSIS
Gordon was cut by Baltimore earlier this week in order to make room for Dalvin Cook, who is expected to be active behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill against the Texans. Gordon can't be elevated for Saturday's game.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Role could grow with other RBs hurt
Gordon could be Baltimore's top healthy running back in Week 4 against the Browns, as Gus Edwards exited after being evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Edwards had 11 carries for 51 yards prior to getting hurt, while Gordon finished the game with 10 carries for 32 yards, and Kenyan Drake rushed once for no gain. The Ravens lost J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending Achilles tear in the season opener, and Justice Hill missed Week 3 due to a foot injury. If neither Edwards nor Hill suit up in Week 4 against Cleveland, Gordon could lead Baltimore's backfield. The injuries at running back also increase Gordon's odds of being signed to the 53-man roster after having been elevated from the practice squad for each of the past two games.

The Chiefs signed Gordon to their practice squad last November after he was let go by the Broncos, but he wasn't elevated for game action at any point by the eventual Super Bowl LVII champions. Prior to his release, he rushed for a career-low 318 yards (on 90 carries) with two touchdowns to go with 25 catches for 223 yards and five fumbles (two lost) in 10 games. The 2015 first-rounder remains unsigned but could catch on with another team looking to add experience and depth to its backfield. In the right situation, it's possible that the 30-year-old could re-enter the fantasy equation, in particular if he can improve on his ball security.
