Browns’ Gordon has suspension reduced

Published

on

Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon’s season-long suspension was reduced to 10 games on the heels of the NFL and NFLPA approving a new substance-abuse policy Friday.

Gordon will be eligible to return against the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 23 provided he meets the terms of the new policy.

He also will be allowed to return to the Browns’ facility to condition and take part in meetings. He is not allowed to practice until the week before the Atlanta game.

“I’m happy that the NFLPA and NFL worked hard to agree on a new Substances of Abuse policy,” Gordon said in a statement released by the NFLPA. “I’m very thankful to my union for fighting for a significant reduction in my suspension. I’m glad I can go to the facility during my suspension. I look forward to going to meetings, working out individually, and learning from my coaches and teammates. I can’t wait until game 11 to get back on the field!”

The Cleveland Plain Dealer also reported the league is not expected to add any punishment for a recent DWI conviction.

If Gordon fails another test, he could be suspended indefinitely.

Gordon, who was suspended two games in 2013, led the NFL with 1,646 yards and became the first player in NFL history with back-to-back 200-yard receiving games.
