BEREA, Ohio -- Hue Jackson admitted that Josh Gordon's confessions of extensive criminal activity and past drug use in a Sports Illustrated article were a red flag for the Browns and that they're addressing it.
"Obviously, he understands that the antennas are up everywhere, and they should be,'' said Jackson. "He has to do the work to make sure that those things are in his past."
Jackson acknowledged that Gordon's return to the Browns is contingent on meeting the terms and conditions of his aftercare program and doing the right things on a daily basis.
"The biggest thing is he still has to earn the right to be here,'' said Jackson.
