He’s getting yet another opportunity.The NFL conditionally reinstated the Patriots wide receiver on Friday.Commissioner Roger Goodell notified Gordon that on Sunday Foster Moreau Jersey , Gordon can rejoin the team for meetings and conditioning and individual workouts. After that, according to a league statement, “Subject to appropriate progress on clinical care and other arrangements, he will be permitted to participate in team activities, including practice.”But Gordon is barred from next Thursday’s game because of a lack of sufficient conditioning and practice time.Gordon had been suspended indefinitely since December 2018 for violations of the league’s substance abuse policy.The Patriots have stayed mostly mum this preseason about the potential of Gordon rejoining the team Anthony Nelson Jersey , with coach Bill Belichick saying earlier this month, “We don’t have anything to do with Josh Gordon. He’s suspended. You need to talk to the league. We have no control over Josh Gordon.”Now they will.Gordon has been suspended several times by the NFL for violations of its drug policies since being drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2012, and missed the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons.After being reinstated in 2017, Gordon revealed in an interview with GQ magazine that he drank or used marijuana before games. “Probably every game of my career,” he said.Gordon also said in a 2017 mini-documentary on Uninterreupted.com that he took Xanax Jeffery Simmons Jersey , cocaine, marijuana and other narcotics.Now he’ll return to a Patriots environment in which he was mostly insulated last season and even flourished in their highly disciplined culture.Gordon’s outlook certainly improved last season after a September trade when the Browns felt it was time to cut ties. He had 40 receptions for 720 yards and three touchdowns with the Patriots, five years removed from an All-Pro season in 2013 with 87 catches for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns.His return seemingly comes at a perfect time for the Patriots who are eagerly awaiting the return of Julian Edelman from a thumb injury and have been struck by a series of injuries at receiver this preseason.But there are no guarantees Gordon can help the team given his history of suspensions.Still, he has never lost the support of his teammates.Tom Brady Nate Davis Jersey , who worked out with Gordon in the offseason, is one of those supporters.“There weren’t many opportunities, but he was around and I needed someone to catch,” Brady said last month when asked about the workout. “I’ve always enjoyed playing with him and obviously hope everything works out for him. I’m hoping the best, certainly.” The NFL announced on Friday morning that Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill will not be disciplined under the Personal Conduct Policy after the league’s investigation of child abuse allegations against him.That statement noted that Hill’s availability will be subject to conditions put in place by the district court Tytus Howard Jersey , NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the Chiefs that “include clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention.” It also brought word that Hill “may attend Kansas City’s training camp and participate in all club activities.”Hill did not take part in the team’s offseason program after the release of audio of a conversation with his child’s mother about the case just before the draft. In a statement of their own on Friday, the Chiefs said they will welcome Hill back.“We have been informed of the decision by the National Football League that, based on the available evidence, the league has not found that Tyreek Hill violated the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy. Based on the information provided to us by the league, we have decided it is appropriate for Tyreek to return to the team at the start of training camp. The club fully supports the conditions for return laid out by the league and will continue to monitor any new developments in the case. We are glad to welcome Tyreek back to the team and look forward to the start of training camp next week.”Chiefs veterans are due at training camp next Friday.
