Wide receiver Josh Gordon has reportedly submitted a letter to the NFL seeking reinstatement from an indefinite suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the former Seattle Seahawk has been in town running routes and preparing for a return. Gordon has stepped away from football on multiple occasions to focus on his mental health and substance abuse. He's also been suspended for violating the NFL's substance policies five times since entering the league in 2012.
In the latest case, Pelissero noted the death of Gordon's brother last November caused a lapse in Gordon's sobriety, leading to the failed test.
