Josh Gordon 'very thankful' for reduced suspension
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon's suspension was reduced to 10 games as part of the NFL's new drug policy. As a result, the Browns superstar can return to action in Week 11 against the Atlanta Falcons.
On Thursday, Gordon released a statement regarding his reduced suspension:
I’m happy that the NFLPA and NFL worked hard to agree on a new Substances of Abuse policy. 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!
Immediately upon his return, Gordon will bolster a Browns' offense that has - thus far - been better than expected in his absence.
The 23-year-old recorded 87 receptions for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns in 14 games last season.
