Browns’ Josh Gordon Activated For Sunday’s Game
By Mike Dyce
The Cleveland Browns are having a tremendous season in a tough division, where every team has a winning record. They’ll need a big push down the stretch to keep winning games and challenge for the divisional title and a playoff spot.
They could be getting some help with the return of wide receiver Josh Gordon, who missed the first 10 games of the season serving a suspension. The suspension was originally set to last the whole season, but after the NFL and NFL Player’s Association reached a new agreement on drug testing, Gordon’s suspension was reduced.
The Browns take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, and Gordon was activated according to multiple reports.

As expected, #Browns activated WR Josh Gordon off roster exemption. They had until Monday to do so.

How big of a role, if any, will Gordon have in the game has yet to be seen. You’d have to imagine that they’d want the NFL’s leading receiver in 2013 on the field as another weapon for the offense and quarterback Brian Hoyer.
