Browns head of football operations Sashi Brown willing to welcome suspended receiver Josh Gordon back to team

INDIANAPOLIS: Head of football operations Sashi Brown is optimistic the Browns will be able to welcome former All-Pro wide receiver Josh Gordon back to the team with open arms.

“I’m hopeful that Josh, as a person, made the strides that he set out to make and can come back and contribute,” Brown said Thursday during the NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Gordon has applied for reinstatement into the NFL after being banished for the entire 2015 season because of recurring violations of the league’s substance-abuse policy.

“Josh we know is working out, and by all signs, he’s on a path to come back and be reinstated,” Brown said.
