Josh Gordon‘s status for the season opener remains unclear, but the wide receiver is about to take an important step forward. Gordon will begin participating in the Browns’ walkthrough portion of practice, coach Hue Jackson told reporters on Friday.

Recently, Jackson expressed optimism that Gordon will be ready to go for Week 1. Gordon’s walkthrough participation guarantees nothing, but it’s an indicator that he is not far off from full participation in practice and, eventually, the season opener against the Steelers.
Gordon returned to the Browns last week after taking part in a health and treatment plan. While the league is monitoring his progress, they have not placed any restrictions on when Gordon can get resume all football activities with the club.
Gordon is an integral part of the Browns’ offense and the Browns are desperately hoping that he’ll get on the right path this year. The uncertainty surrounding Gordon led the Browns to consider Dez Bryant, but a deal seems unlikely, so having Gordon in uniform is now more important than ever.
Not a Browns fan but it would be fun to see Gordon start against the Steelers and haul in 10 receptions for 215 yards and 3 TDs. Imagine the fantasy league panic that would create.
And have that all be against joe Haden lol
Hue Jackson is the reason the Browns are going to be terrible and this whole situation is a prime example. If Gordon isn’t injured and is cleared to practice, why isn’t he? Doesn’t make any sense to have your best players not getting reps with your new QB if you can.
There is an episode of Seinfeld where George achieves success by defying logic and doing the opposite. Hue wants to give it a try and see if he can become master of his domain.
LOL. That’s the only logic Hue.
I doubt josh has gotten the playbook since he never reported until now, they’re running a completely new offense this year so throwing him into a full on practice wouldn’t really serve a purpose at this point .. that’s like taking a test but not having any info to study before hand
Terrific Analogy
