Receiver Gordon starts on road back to NFL

-

Through the haze of his troubled past, Josh Gordon still sees a bright future. Declaring himself “clean and sober” and committed to reviving his NFL career, Gordon embarked on yet another new start with the Cleveland Browns. One week after NFL commission­er Roger Goodell conditiona­lly reinstated the oftsuspend­ed former Pro Bowl wide receiver, Gordon, who hasn’t played since the 2014 season, has to prove he can maintain his sobriety while earning the trust of new teammates. Gordon can attend team meetings and work out on his own until Nov. 20. As long as there are no setbacks, and Gordon remains clean, he’ll be eligible to play on Dec. 3. Earlier this week, Gordon revealed in an interview with GQ magazine that he either drank or smoked marijuana before every game of his career in college and the pros.
