CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns star wide receiver Josh Gordon says the only place he can find peace is on the
football field. His time there could be running short.
The Pro Bowler is still awaiting word from the NFL on whether he’ll be suspended for all or part of the
season. Gordon recently appealed a yearlong league suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse

Browns coach Mike Pettine says the delay has weighed heavily on Gordon, who broke a franchise record with
1,646 yards receiving last season despite being suspended for the first two games.
