Josh Gordon reportedly failed another drug test last month, according to an ESPN report. Gordon just served a year-long suspension for failing a drug test reportedly for marijuana. The past two seasons, Gordon has missed 27 of his last 32 games, all from suspensions from failing drug tests.
Via ESPN:
Suspended Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon failed a drug test last month, according to multiple reports. Fox Sports, which first reported the news, cited a source informed of the test results that Gordon’s sample was positive for marijuana and dilute. Both Gordon’s “A” and “B” samples were positive for marijuana and dilute, Fox Sports reported. According to the report, the level of marijuana in the wide receiver’s system was below the 35 nanogram threshold, but the diluted sample is the same as a positive test by the NFL’s standards.
Neither the NFL nor the Browns commented. Still, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that there has been increasing concern within the Browns’ organization about whether Gordon will be reinstated.
According to Gordon himself:

If the reports are confirmed, this will be a cautionary tale for anyone who wants to make it to professional sports. Talent is necessary, but following rules and doing what you have to do is also important. As Gordon sees, they go hand and hand.
