NFL.com relays that Gordon -- who had been suspended indefinitely since February of 2015 -- is in line to be conditionally reinstated by the league, with the report adding that the wideout will face a four-game suspension to start the upcoming season.

Moreover, the report notes that Gordon will be able to take part in the Browns' upcoming training camp. Given that the reinstatement is described as conditional, Gordon must avoid any off-field issues in the meantime, but based on the four-game length of his pending sanction, he would be eligible to return to the team as of Monday, Oct 3. The Browns take on the Patriots at home in Week 5, the very game that is slated to mark the return to action of New England QB Tom Brady. It remains to be seen what the Browns have in store for Gordon, both in the short-term and come Week 5, but the 25-year-old pass catcher -- who last played in an NFL game in December of 2014 -- has the talent to re-emerge as a fantasy factor in 2016, while giving the Browns a dangerous pass-catching option at wideout opposite highly-touted rookie Corey Coleman.
