The NFL Players Association determined Josh Gordon has successfully completed his NFL-monitored treatment program and has recommended to the league that he be reinstated, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Gordon, 30, is awaiting final approval from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but he is said to be ready to play and is vaccinated against COVID-19.
The veteran wide receiver submitted his reinstatement letter to Goodell in July.
The NFL suspended Gordon indefinitely in December 2019 for violations of its policies on substance abuse and performance-enhancing substances. That was Gordon's sixth suspension since the 2013 season and his fifth for some form of substance abuse, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
