Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson has had a change of heart in regards to Josh Gordon.

Jackson previously said the team had moved on from the receiver after several failed drug tests, but the coach acknowledged Wednesday he initially lacked understanding of Gordon's issues, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com:
