Gordon submitted a letter of reinstatement Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was suspended indefinitely in December for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse. The ban is the sixth of his career. In the meantime, Gordon has been running routes to prepare for a return, but whether that happens remains to be seen.

Gordon (suspension) hopes to be reinstated by training camp, Ben Arthur of SeattlePI reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon is currently serving his sixth career suspension in the form of an indefinite ban for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse policy Dec. 16. Currently a free agent, Gordon hauled in 27 passes for 426 yards and one score across 11 combined games with the Seahawks and Patriots in 2019, and he previously served as a key contributor in New England's aerial attack in 2018 while averaging 18.0 yards per catch. The 29-year-old still offers intriguing field-stretching abilities, and earning reinstatement in time to participate in training camp would likely increase his chances of getting a shot with a new club, but he'll first need to convince league officials that he's made tangible progress off the field.

Gordon (suspension) plans to return to the NFL for the 2020 season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was suspended indefinitely Dec. 16 for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse policies. This was his sixth suspension, and he currently is a free agent. Commissioner Roger Goodell will ensure Gordon makes steady progress before returning to the field. The 29-year-old spent the 2019 season with both the Patriots and Seahawks, totaling 27 receptions for 426 yards and a touchdown.

Gordon has been suspended indefinitely for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Gordon's repeat offender status, he's likely done for the season. Gordon is coming off his best game with the Seahawks, hauling in a 58-yard pass in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers. The 28-year-old receiver played six games for the Patriots and five for the Seahawks this season. The Seahawks likely will use a rotation to fill the No. 3 receiver role going forward, using Malik Turner, David Moore and Jaron Brown.

Gordon hauled in a 58-yard pass on his only target in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Panthers. He also threw an interception.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon continues to work as the No. 3 wideout behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, but he only played 25 of a possible 67 offensive snaps (37 percent). The 28-year-old Gordon managed to feature his field-stretching abilities, however, setting up Tyler Lockett for a touchdown a few plays later. Over five games with the Seahawks, Gordon has yet to surpass two receptions, but he'll look to break out in Week 16 against the Cardinals' league-worst passing defense (294.2 yards allowed per game).

Gordon hauled in two of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
This was Gordon's best stat line since arriving in Seattle. While his numbers were nothing to write home about, it's intriguing that Gordon recorded 37 offensive snaps, establishing himself as the No. 3 wideout ahead of Malik Turner (15) and David Moore (14). Gordon's promotion was a matter of if, not when, and he seems to be comfortable with the playbook and Russell Wilson, who connected with him on a key fourth down in the fourth quarter. Gordon will look to break through in Week 15's matchup against the Panthers.

Gordon caught his only target, a 10-yard gain during Monday's 37-30 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon broke over the middle for a third-down conversion during Seattle's second drive of the game Monday to set up a game-tying touchdown. He wasn't targeted again. He hasn't quite rounded into form yet with four catches for 47 yards in three games with Seattle and you should probably wait until he puts together a nice game or two before turning to him. Sunday offers a tough matchup against division rival Los Angeles and the league's 10th-ranked pass defense.

Gordon (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Seahawks listed Gordon as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, but the wideout's ability to take all the reps during Friday's session paves the way for him to enter the Week 13 matchup with the Vikings minus a designation. Like Gordon, DK Metcalf (knee) was also able to upgrade to full participation Friday, leaving both players in line to potentially fill larger roles in the passing attack should top option Tyler Lockett (shin/illness) sit out the Monday night matchup. Lockett was unable to take any reps Friday, leaving his status one to track ahead of the Seahawks' final practice of the week Saturday.

Gordon (ankle) is listed as a limited participant on Thursday's practice estimate, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
In two games with the Seahawks, Gordon logged 37 percent of the offensive snaps Week 10 against the 49ers and 33 percent of those plays this past Sunday at Philadelphia. Such a workload hasn't lent itself to much production, as he's hauled in three of four targets for 37 yards. Now with an ankle injury in tow, Gordon's status should be monitored to get a sense of his availability for Monday's contest against the Vikings.

Gordon caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon now has three receptions over two games with the Seahawks, and each one was a third-down conversion. It was a slow day for Seattle's receivers overall, as Russell Wilson completed a season-low 13 passes with no receivers topping 38 yards. Gordon is still looking to find his game with Seattle, and he'll look to leverage another week of practice into increased production Week 13 against the Vikings.
