You may have heard it by now: yesterday morning, news broke about New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon and him temporarily stepping away from football to focus on his mental health. Shortly afterwards, the NFL announced that the 27-year old had been indefinitely suspended for violating his reinstatement terms. Gordon’s well-being and him hopefully getting the help he needs is the main concern in all of this, of course.
That being said, football life goes on for a Patriots organization that will have to quickly turn its attention to the Buffalo Bills — and Bill Belichick is once again leading by example: New England’s head coach addressed the media today for the first time since yesterday’s developments, and opened up with a short statement about Josh Gordon and how his club will handle the matter moving forward.
