Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for violating the league’s policies on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse, the league announced Monday.
Gordon, who has battled mental health issues and substance abuse issues since he entered the NFL in 2012, was waived by the Patriots after spending a year with the team and claimed by Seattle in November.
One year ago this week when he was with New England, Gordon announced he was stepping away for the rest of the season to “focus on his mental health,’’ and was later suspended indefinitely for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
