It sadly looks like we know why Josh Gordon is not eligible to practice or play as scheduled.
Gordon, whose substance abuse problems are well-documented and have led to multiple suspensions, was seemingly set to make his 2020 regular season debut for the Seattle Seahawks this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams. However, one day after the team bumped him up to the active roster (and waived Penny Hart), the league placed Gordon back on the Commissioner’s exempt list, which means he no longer counts towards the 53-man limit.
Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times initially reported that the former Pro Bowl wide receiver had not completely satisfied the terms of his conditional reinstatement.
