The New England Patriots might get a big addition to their passing game, and it’s not because Rob Gronkowski is coming back.
Josh Gordon has finally taken a step towards an NFL return. The former NFL receiving champ has applied for reinstatement, according to veteran reporter Howard Balzer. ESPN confirmed the report on Wednesday. Gordon announced he was “stepping away” from the Patriots late last season, then it was reported he had violated the league’s substance-abuse policy again.
Just because Gordon has applied for reinstatement doesn’t mean he’ll be on the field anytime soon.
