CLEVELAND — By now, the Cleveland Browns have had a hard time trusting wide receiver Josh Gordon. The embattled wideout has served four separate suspensions for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy during his six-year career.
So Gordon’s announcement that he wouldn’t be present for the start of the team’s training camp this week, could cause a scare among fans. Fortunately, as the 27-year-old clarified via Twitter, it’s not because he’s in trouble with the league again. Instead, Gordon revealed his absence from camp is all part of his overall health and treatment plan, put in place by the Browns medical team.
