Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he found out the news of wide receiver Josh Gordon’s reinstatement at “the same time that everyone else did.”
“That’s kind of the way it works in the NFL,” Brady told WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” Tuesday morning.
Gordon, who was conditionally reinstated by the league on Friday, returned to Gillette Stadium on Monday. Despite not practicing with the team, he was spotted in the locker room, where his stall is just two down from that of Brady’s.
“Obviously, everyone’s excited to have him back,” Brady said, joining the chorus of Patriots expressing their support.
