Gordon failed a drug test for the second time and blamed second-hand marijuana smoke for the results of the test.
Almost three weeks later, there still has not been a resolution.
Harold Henderson, who met with Gordon and his team, still hasn’t’ made a decision. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com and The NFL Network, no ruling will come before the end of this week.
This was a week many involved believed the #Browns WR Josh Gordon verdict would come down. Alas, it will not. Perhaps next week? #staytuned

Gordon has continued to play in the preseason and the Browns are hopeful they can get him back at sometime this season. Outside of Gordon, the Browns don’t have a lot of proven commodities at the postion.
Gordon made 87 receptions for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns in 2013 after making 50 catches for 805 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie in 2012. Clearly, he was on his way to a big pay day.
