BEREA, Ohio -- Cleveland Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins spoke for the team about Josh Gordon's decision to enter rehab, and Hawkins said he was happy Gordon made that choice.

"I lost a sister this summer to a heroin overdose," Hawkins said Friday. "She had been clean for two to three years, doing an incredible job. Talked to her regularly, but the one relapse cost her her life.

"It was something I didn't see coming and it kind of opens your eyes up to what addiction is like. It's not a black-and-white situation.
