Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon attends court hearing after arrest warrant issued in paternity case; NFL says it won’t affect playing status

BEREA: Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon attended a hearing at Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court on Wednesday in an effort to resolve a legal matter after a judge issued an arrest warrant for the suspended former All-Pro selection because he failed to submit to a paternity test.

The NFL, though, won’t punish Gordon in connection with the case. He is still scheduled to play for the first time this season Oct. 9 against the New England Patriots upon completing a four-game suspension for recurring violations of the league’s substance-abuse policy. He’ll be eligible to return to practice Oct. 3.
