The conditional reinstatement of Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon has been terminated. Oof.
The Seahawks rehired wide receiver Josh Gordon in September with the hope that he will be reinstated from his suspension sometime during the season. Gordon never saw a single snap on the field.
Gordon was reinstated conditionally in December, however, he was short-lived. The official report of Friday’s transaction revealed that Gordon’s conditional reinstatement was terminated and he is now suspended again indefinitely.
According to sources known to the NFL media, “Gordon was added to the active squad in Seattle and must return to the field when he experienced a setback in his battle against substance abuse that broke the terms of his conditional reinstatement.”
Gordon, only 29, has been suspended several times for substance abuse violations.
