Report: Gordon informs Chargers he won't be at training camp

Running back Melvin Gordon informed the Los Angeles Chargers he won't be reporting to training camp when it begins Wednesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports, citing a source.

The two-time Pro Bowler threatened to hold out earlier this month in search of a new contract.

Gordon can incur up to $40,000 in fines each day for missing camp, according to ESPN's Field Yates.

In April, the Chargers exercised the fifth-year option in Gordon's contract, worth $5.6 million. The lead back is seeking a much higher payday and the team's preference is to reach an extension with him, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
