Gordon tweeted Monday that he'll be away from the Browns at the start of training camp as part of a treatment plan to help maintain his health. Despite this surprising development, he says he's in a good place both physically and mentally, with every intention of joining his teammates soon. The 27-year-old has a well-documented history of substance-abuse issues and is subject to frequent drug tests. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the wideout hasn't been suspended, adding that the league will address Gordon's situation "at the appropriate time", per ESPN.com's Pat McManamon.
