Seattle Seahawks' Josh Gordon has setback in recovery from substance abuse, with return to field in doubt, source says

SEATTLE -- Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon has experienced another setback in his recovery from substance abuse, a source confirmed to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

The news comes as Gordon was preparing to return to the field for the first time since he was indefinitely suspended by the NFL last December, a comeback that is now in jeopardy.

Gordon, 29, is grappling with the reality that he may never be allowed to play again, the source told Fowler, as indications throughout the process of his reinstatement from his latest suspension were that this was likely his final strike.
