Less than 24 hours after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally reinstated receiver Josh Gordon, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick released a statement about the return of the troubled wideout, per the team.
“For the past eight months, Josh’s situation has been entirely a league matter,” Belichick said. “When Josh returns to our program, we will evaluate the entire situation and do what we feel is best for Josh and the team.”
A very standard response from New England’s head coach. Belichick likely doesn’t want to elaborate on how he feels about Gordon’s return until he sees how prepared Gordon is for a return to football.
