CLEVELAND - Josh Gordon's troubles have deepened. He may be out of chances - and time.
The wide receiver for the Browns has failed yet another drug test, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Sunday. Gordon, who has twice been suspended by the NFL for drug violations, could be banned for one year, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidentiality of the testing.
ESPN, citing anonymous sources, first reported Gordon's failed test.
A Pro Bowl selection in 2013, he was suspended 10 games last season because he tested positive for marijuana. The talented 23-year-old returned for five games but failed to deliver the spark the Browns had hoped. He was then suspended by the Browns for violating team rules before the Dec. 28 season finale at Baltimore.
Following the season coach Mike Pettine revealed Gordon had been guilty of multiple violations during the season.
