    La NFL anunció la semana pasada que Gordon había sido reintegrado de manera condicional por el comisionado Roger Goodell, con la capacidad de "unirse a los Browns para asistir a las reuniones, participar en el trabajo de acondicionamiento y entrenamientos individuales".

    Actualmente apegado a la lista de Exentos del Comisionado, a Gordon - si todo sale bien - se le permitirá practicar con los Browns a partir del lunes 20 de noviembre.


    Llegado el 27 de noviembre, el receptor de 26 años será elegible a discreción de los Browns para volver al estado activo y poder disputar un partido de temporada regular.

    Salvo un revés, Cleveland podría tener a Gordon en uniforme para el viaje de la Semana 13 a Los Ángeles para enfrentar a los Chargers. También estaría disponible para los últimos cuatro juegos del equipo contra Packers, Ravens, Bears y Steelers.

    Gordon no ha aparecido en un juego de campaña regular desde 2014. El receptor ingresó voluntariamente a una instalación de rehabilitación para pacientes hospitalizados en octubre pasado para "obtener el control total de mi vida" según afirmó.

    La temporada pasada, el entrenador Hue Jackson dijo a la prensa que el equipo planeaba "cerrar ese capítulo" sobre Gordon, pero los Browns sin victoria desde entonces han cambiado de rumbo.

    "Respetamos y felicitamos a Josh por dar los pasos necesarios para tener la oportunidad de regresar a la liga", dijo el vicepresidente ejecutivo de operaciones de fútbol americano de Browns, Sashi Brown.

    "Josh estará en nuestro edificio en los próximos días y esperamos tenerlo de vuelta y sentarnos con él para hablar sobre su futuro en nuestro equipo", añadió.

    Gordon apareció brevemente durante la pretemporada 2016 y lució sensacional, usando su armazón de 6'3 '' y 225 libras para dominar a los defensivos y recordarle al mundo su brillante campaña de 2013, que lo llevó a liderar la liga en yardas recibidas (1,646) a pesar de haber jugado solo 14 juegos.
