Eric Gordon (finger) has been cleared for contact work

Gordon (finger) has been cleared for contact work, John Reid of NOLA.com reports.

Analysis:

There is no set time for Gordon's return, but he said this week he expects to return "any day now," and the doctor's blessing is good news. The initial 4-6 week recovery expectation for his fractured finger had him slated for an early March return, so he's right on schedule.
