Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon posted a more informal statement about his pending trip to rehab Thursday on Twitter, saying pressure and stress led to his decision to halt his return to football.

Gordon seemed optimistic in his tweets, suggesting he expects to return to the field at some point.

Gordon's promising career has been derailed by multiple bouts with substance abuse, and he missed all of 2015 due to suspension.

In 2013, Gordon was a dominant force for the Browns' offense, catching 87 passes for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns.
