The Cleveland Browns activated wide receiver Josh Gordon this week, making him eligible to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. To make roster space, they waived defensive back Justin Currie.
Gordon isn’t just coming off the couch to play the part and stand on the sidelines, either, he’s going to start in his first NFL game since December 2014.
“Am I comfortable saying that? Heck yeah. Are you kidding me? Yeah, he is going to start. Right away,” head coach Hue Jackson said following Gordon’s activation.
The question then becomes how effective Gordon can be in his first game back.
