NFL Notes: Josh Gordon, Cardinals, Eagles, Texans

Josh Gordon

Former Olympian Tim Montgomery, who has been working with suspended Browns WR Josh Gordon, expects him to return at some point during the 2017 season.

“He’s coming,” Montgomery told Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I think he’s going to be there this season.

Gordon is still in rehab but he is hoping to have his suspension lifted soon after he’s released on Sept. 21.

“He’s been clean, so we’re hoping after 90 days he’s reinstated and they put him back in the league, which it looks like they’re going to do that,” said Montgomery.

Montgomery believes Gordon was denied reinstatement this past May because he missed his mandatory drug tests.

It’s my understanding that Josh was clean, but that he wasn’t answering his phone,” said Montgomery. “Josh would go somewhere and he wouldn’t tell anyone he was going out of town and he wouldn’t pick his phone up. He didn’t want to tell his people ‘I can’t come out there because I’ve got to stay here and answer the phone for drug tests.’
