Gordon (suspension) is expected to hear about the status of his reinstatement application by late April or early May, ESPN's Dan Graziano reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon applied for reinstatement in early March, eyeing a return to regular-season action for the first time since December 2014. He was conditionally reinstated last summer from an indefinite ban, needing to serve another four-game suspension before playing in a game. He ultimately entered an in-patient rehab facility instead of returning after four weeks -- thereby failing to meet the terms for reinstatement. The league may outline a similar condition this time around, but even if it doesn't, the Browns are expected to part ways with Gordon. Set to turn 26 in April, the talented wideout shouldn't have a hard time finding another team that's willing to give him a shot.
