The Chiefs have promoted Josh Gordon to the 53-man roster, per a club announcement. With that, the wide receiver could debut as soon as this Sunday night against the Bills. 
“I‘m just gonna play it by ear and see how he feels,” head coach Andy Reid said earlier this week (via Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star). “Really, it’s more of a comfort thing with the offense. I don’t want to put him in a bad situation out there.”
The early word has been promising. Despite his well-documented troubles and past difficulties with grasping the playbook, Gordon has been clicking with his new club on the practice field.
The Chiefs, as always, have been scoring with ease this year, but Gordon will give opposing defenses another headache to contend with. Even though he’s years removed from his best work, Gordon is one of the most naturally talented receivers of his generation. To this day, his 14-game 2013 campaign sits sixth on the NFL’s receiving yards-per-game list (117.6).
If Gordon plays in Week 5, it’ll mark his first live NFL action since December of 2019.
Awesome.
A deserving young man.
Deserving of what ? He’s a piece of garbage like all drug addicts are
Glad there are perfect people out there, like You, that never make poor life choices.
He’s made Poor choices 8 or 9 times before. Just stop with empathy/sympathy line. He’s been given a ” 2nd Chance ” like 8 times already.
The point is he’s underserving of another chance. Try showing up to your Job 8 or 9 times drunk or on drugs, see how many chances the Human Resources Dept gives you. It won’t be as many times as this guy has been given.
The NFL lifestyle is a bad fit for him. The glam, stress, alone time in Hotel rooms, or just having Money in his pocket spells trouble for him. He seems to be okay when he is away from the NFL.
As I’ve said before, why will THIS CHANCE be any different for him?
He’s not showing up to work high or drunk. He’s randomly being drug tested at work and it’s marijuana!!!! There’s nothing performance enhancing about it and it’s legal in half the country. Be happy the guy got another chance man.
Not all of his past Suspensions have been for Marijuana …..
What a dumb comment
OH I get jokes…..
Only three things in existence have 9 lives.
1) Cats
2) Aldon Smith
3) Josh Gordon
“Even though he’s years removed from his best work, Gordon is one of the most naturally talented receivers of his generation” Zach, he had 2 good years, relax with the Gordon propaganda.
I got called up to the Chiefs … but then I got high
but then I got high
but then I got high
la la da da da da la da da da
Why doesn’t any site that talks about Gordon being added to the 53-man roster say who was taken OFF the roster???? Would be nice to know
Josh Gordon will probably make the Hall of Fame. Who else has been suspended nine times by the NFL Commissioner for drug use and been allowed to play again?
