The Packers have lost three straight games.

l On the cusp of his return from NFL suspension, Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon says he used drugs or alcohol before every game of his career.

Gordon, who was reinstated on a conditiona­l basis last week by Commission­er Roger Goodell, tells GQ magazine he drank or smoked marijuana before games. He added “a bunch of guys smoke weed before the game.”

Gordon said he was under the influence “every game. Probably every game of my career.”

Gordon is scheduled to report to the Browns’ facility on Tuesday.

He’s allowed to attend team meetings and work out by himself, and as long as he fulfills requiremen­ts,

Gordon can begin practicing with the Browns on Nov. 20.

Gordon has missed 51 games since 2014 due to suspension­s.
