The Cleveland Browns are getting wide receiver Josh Gordon back from a two game suspension. Their offense needs help, right now the Browns have the 22nd ranked passing game according to ESPN, based on yards per game.

Gordon is on thin ice, with his next failed drug test he could get handed a year-long suspension. Gordon said he has learned from his mistakes and knows he is running out of chances.

We’ve seen players repeat the normal “I’ve learned and I’ve changed sentiments. There is no indication that he has, no reports of him seeking treatment, just his word. It will be interesting to see if he can stay out of trouble, hopefully for him and his career he can. Nobody wants to see a player lose their career and NFL dream to substance abuse.
