NFL teams were notified on Monday’s official transactions report that Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon remains on the league’s reserve/suspended list.
While Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and a handful of other players who served four-game suspensions to start the season are now eligible to return to their teams, Gordon remains suspended and the Browns do not have to make an official roster move despite Browns coach Hue Jackson saying last week the team is ready “to close that chapter” regarding Gordon.
Gordon checked himself into a treatment center late last week. He hasn’t played since Dec. 2014 after being suspended for all of last season; terms of his conditional reinstatement in July included a suspension for the first four games this season.
