Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon failed another drug test and will be subject to a one-year suspension, ESPN.com reported Sunday.

Gordon’s future in Cleveland and the NFL will be in question with his latest failed test.

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio confirmed that the 23-year-old Gordon is in line for a one-year ban for a violation of the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.

A source told Florio that Gordon tested positive for alcohol and that Gordon’s suspension looks to be a “done deal,” with a reversal of the ban not expected.

The Browns had to deal with their star wide receiver being suspended 10 games at the start of the season for violating the substance-abuse policy. The Browns also suspended Gordon for the season finale for violating team rules.

Gordon, who entered the NFL after being dismissed from Baylor for a failed marijuana test, caught 24 passes for 303 yards in five games this past season. He led the NFL with 1,646 yards in just 14 games in the 2013-14 season.

In the NFL, it’s always better to admit a mistake than to compound it. For the Buccaneers, the decision to burn a 2016 second-round pick on kicker Robert Aguayo has proven to be a mistake.
