Recently reinstated Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon can officially return to practicing with the team.
Nov. 20 was set as the return date by commissioner Roger Goodell after he let Gordon back in the league. The electric receiver hasn’t played since 2014, and has had multiple problems with substance abuse.

I’m a sucker for great comeback stories, and Gordon has the opportunity for an all-time great comeback story. The guy couldn’t stay away from drugs and alcohol during his previous time in the NFL. It looked like there was next to no chance he would ever return to the league.
Now he’s able to practice again, and play by the end of the month.
Let’s hope this works out because it’d be without a doubt one of the best comeback stories in the history of the NFL. I think that’s something we can all get behind.
