NFL Issues Punishment On Josh Gordon

Josh Gordon was just added to the Reserve/Commissioner Suspended list indefinitely after he violated the terms of his conditional reinstatement under the Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. So, yes, the receiver cannot enter the Patriots facility, practice with the team and will not take part of this weekend’s game.

This came after the receiver announced his decision to step back and do not play football.

“I take my mental health very seriously at this point to ensure I remain able to perform at the highest level. I have recently felt like I could have a better grasp on things mentally. With that said, I will be stepping away from the football field for a bit to focus on my mental health. I would like to thank Coach Belichick, Mr. Kraft, as well as countless others within the Patriots organization for their continued support. I want to thank my fans for their support as well as I continue down the path getting back to 100%,” Gordon wrote.

“We support Josh Gordon in his continued effort to focus on his health. His attempt to do so is a private and personal matter, which we intend to respect,” the Patriots wrote in the official statement.

We believe that head coach Bill Belichick, team owner Robert Kraft and other Patriots will not talk about Gordon’s decision or his suspension.

Before joining the Patriots, the receiver struggled on the field, and he was suspended most of the time. Gordon was suspended for 10 games in 2014 for substance abuse. He also missed 2015 and 2016, and came back on the field in Week 13 of 2017.

So, Gordon has closed another chapter in the league. How will things develop for him? This does not look good at all, but hey, miracles can happen.
