Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon briefly left Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions with what the team described as a hand injury.
Gordon later returned to the game and the injury did not appear to slow him down, as the running back finished the day with 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
Gordon sprained his thumb, “but it doesn’t figure to limit his playing time going forward,” according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Broncos defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones also suffered a foot injury during Sunday’s 38-10 win. It’s believed to be a minor injury.
“[Trainer] Vince [Garcia] thinks he’s going to be OK,” coach Vic Fangio said Sunday evening. “He hurt his foot a little bit. Hopefully it is only a little bit, and we don’t get a surprise tomorrow.”
Inside linebacker Kenny Young also suffered a concussion in Week 14, and he will now enter the NFL’s concussion protocol.
Up next for Denver is a home game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
