NFL denies Gordon’s reinstatement

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has been denied reinstatement by the NFL, although he will be able to apply for reinstatement in the fall. Gordon, who led the NFL in receiving yards in 2013, has been suspended several times by the league, including the current ban for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. He also was suspended for 10 games in 2014, then for the 2015 season, all for substance abuse violations. Now 26, Gordon rejoined the Browns last summer, then entered a rehab facility in September.
