The Cleveland Browns made it official late Thursday afternoon.
Wide receiver Josh Gordon is once again a member of the active roster and will be in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The team announced the move on its website.
It is just the latest step in what has been an amazing journey for Gordon, who last appeared in a regular season game on Dec. 21, 2014 – almost three years ago.
Since that day in Charlotte, Gordon has undergone repeated suspensions for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, numerous “imminent” returns to the Browns, a conditional reinstatement in 2016 that was derailed by a return to a rehab facility, and more stories about what might have been or could be than any player in franchise history.
