He's getting yet another 適切な時期.
The NFL conditionally 復帰させるd the 愛国者s wide receiver on Friday.
Commissioner Roger Goodell 通知するd Gordon that on Sunday, Gordon can 再結合させる the team for 会合s and 条件ing and individual workouts. After that, によれば a league 声明, "支配する to appropriate 進歩 on 臨床の care and other 手はず／準備, he will be permitted to 参加する in team activities, 含むing practice."
But Gordon is 閉めだした from next Thursday's game because of a 欠如（する） of 十分な 条件ing and practice time.

The 愛国者s have stayed mostly mum this preseason about the 可能性のある of Gordon 再結合させるing the team, with coach 法案 Belichick 説 earlier this month, "We don't have anything to do with Josh Gordon. He's 一時停止するd. You need to talk to the league. We have no 支配（する）／統制する over Josh Gordon."
Now they will.
Gordon has been 一時停止するd several times by the NFL for 違反s of its 麻薬 政策s since 存在 草案d by the Cleveland Browns in 2012, and 行方不明になるd the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons.
After 存在 復帰させるd in 2017, Gordon 明らかにする／漏らすd in an interview with GQ magazine that he drank or used マリファナ before games. "Probably every game of my career," he said.
Gordon also said in a 2017 小型の-文書の on Uninterreupted.com that he took Xanax, コカイン, マリファナ and other 麻薬s.
Now he'll return to a 愛国者s 環境 in which he was mostly 絶縁するd last season and even 繁栄するd in their 高度に disciplined culture.
Gordon's 見通し certainly 改善するd last season after a September 貿易（する） when the Browns felt it was time to 削減（する） 関係. He had 4 0 歓迎会s for 720 yards and three touchdowns with the 愛国者s, five years 除去するd from an All-プロの／賛成の season in 2013 with 87 catches for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns.
His return seemingly comes at a perfect time for the 愛国者s who are 熱望して を待つing the return of Julian Edelman from a thumb 傷害 and have been struck by a 一連の 傷害s at receiver this preseason.
But there are no 保証（人）s Gordon can help the team given his history of 中断s.
Still, he has never lost the support of his チーム仲間s.
Tom Brady, who worked out with Gordon in the offseason, is one of those 支持者s.
"There weren't many 適切な時期s, but he was around and I needed someone to catch," Brady said last month when asked about the workout. "I've always enjoyed playing with him and 明白に hope everything 作品 out for him. I'm hoping the best, certainly."
