More than two months after applying for reinstatement in the NFL, troubled Browns receiver Josh Gordon has met his near-future fate.
Gordon's petition for reinstatement from his indefinite ban has been denied by the league, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The NFL's reported denial of reinstatement comes one day after news broke that Gordon failed an NFL-administered drug test last month.

Gordon was a second-round pick by the Browns in the 2012 Supplemental Draft after being suspended for his 2011 season at Baylor for a failed drug test.
