Josh Gordon to enter rehab
 

Josh Gordon's Cleveland Browns comeback has hit another roadblock.

The wide receiver announced Thursday that he is entering an in-patient rehabilitation facility in an effort to "gain full control of my life." Gordon is eligible to play in the Browns' Week 5 contest against the New England Patriots as part of the terms of his NFL reinstatement for a substance abuse violation. Gordon's decision to enter rehab, however, puts his comeback on hold indefinitely.

"After careful thought and deep consideration I've decided that I need to step away from pursuing my return to the Browns and my football career to enter an in-patient rehabilitation facility," Gordon wrote. "This is the right decision for me and one that I hope will enable me to gain full control of my life and continue on a path to reach my full potential as a person. I appreciate the support of the NFL, NFLPA, the Browns, my teammates, my agent and the community through this extremely challenging process."

Phenomenal talent and it starts to sound like he has his priorities straight. Hope it works out for him.

Interesting ...

Flash was suspended for almost two full seasons & right before his reinstatement becomes final he announces this? Could be a coincidence but the timing of this seems a bit fishy.

Hoping all the best for Josh.
