Seattle Seahawks receiver Josh Gordon has been suspended indefinitely, and without pay, for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse.
Gordon has a long history of substance abuse issues, having missed the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons for violations of the league’s policy.
He returned and played in five games with the Browns in 2017 and 12 between Cleveland and New England in 2018 before getting suspended, again, on December 20, 2018.
The Patriots kept Gordon around and he appeared in six games with them this season before he was placed on waivers and claimed by Seattle.
Upon claiming Gordon, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll indicated the team had a plan in place to help prevent this kind of event from happening.
“Hopefully, we’re putting together a really good plan,” Carroll said. “He has a really clear process that supports him. We’re all aligning to make sure that continues and he feels very good about that.”
Gordon has seven receptions for 139 yards in five games with the Seahawks this season.
Carroll will address the media at 3:00 p.m. PT. on Monday and will presumably provide more information on this developing story.
