Josh Gordon takes next step in return to Patriots

Josh Gordon is back at practice for the New England Patriots.

The 28-year-old wide receiver was spotted in full pads at Patriots practice on Sunday, meaning he has passed his required physical and has been removed from the NFI list.

Exiting the NFI list means the only obstacle left in Gordon’s return from suspension is getting into physical shape for the Patriots’ season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept.
