Report: Josh Gordon conditionally reinstated, out at least four games in ’16

Josh Gordon will be back in the NFL this season, just after he serves his four-game suspension. Mike Florio wonders what Gordon will make of his last chance in the NFL.

Suspended Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has been reinstated, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday.

The report said Gordon has been suspended for the first four games of this season and that his reinstatement is conditional, but he can participate in training camp and be in meetings during his four-game suspension to start this year.

He was suspended for a minimum of one year before the 2015 season for repeated violations of the league’s substance abuse policy. The conditions of his reinstatement include his participation in treatment programs, the report said.

Gordon met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last week.

Whether or not Gordon will be in the Browns’ plans remains to be seen. He was a supplemental draft choice in 2012 -- three Browns administrations ago -- and has played in just five games over the past two seasons.

Gordon led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013 despite missing the first two games after being suspended by the league. An appeal got that suspension shortened from four games to two.

The Browns open full training camp on Friday.
