Josh Gordon was suspended for multiple violations of substance abuse policy, report says

FOXBOROUGH – Josh Gordon was suspended for “multiple violations of the NFL/NFLPA substance abuse policy’’ according to a Sunday morning NFL Media report.

Gordon was hit with the ban Thursday when the league announced the oft-suspended receiver was “returned to Reserve/Commissioner Suspended list for violating the terms of his conditional reinstatement under the Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.’’

The NFL Media report also said “it was more than marijuana’’ that led to Gordon being suspended. It’s unclear when – or if – Gordon would be allowed to return to league, but according to the report, it is not out of the question he could be back for 2019.
