Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon continues to struggle with substance abuse. Following being put on the Seahawks active roster, and possibly only days away from seeing the field, Gordon is not allowed to play or practice with the team indefinitely. Apparently he had a setback in his battle with substance abuse.

This broke the terms of his conditional reinstatement, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported.

Just one day after Gordon returned to Seattle’s active roster, he's back where he was before: Allowed to be with the team, but not practice or play. The #Seahawks had cleared a roster spot to activate him Monday. All systems were go, until the new issue arose.

@dwolforth @The605cjames Really sad!! So much talent going to waste because of drug addiction. Even if he never plays in the NFL again, I hope that he can get control of his life. https://t.co/9JjBen8hXq

Gordon was conditionally reinstated on Dec. 3rd.

The troubled receivers reinstatement came following an indefinite suspension back in Dec 2019 for violating the NFL substance policies.

This is Gordon’s fifth suspension of his career.

Might be time for him to call it a career, and get his life in order.
