Report: Patriots' Gordon remains in inpatient drug treatment facility

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon currently remains at an inpatient drug treatment facility in Florida after he was suspended in December for multiple violations of his reinstatement under the NFL's substance abuse policy, a source told NESN's Doug Kyed.

Kyed adds that Gordon's suspension was triggered by diluted drug test samples. It's his fifth since 2012 and his third indefinite ban.

The Patriots are reportedly paying for the receiver's treatment, though the organization declined to comment on the situation.

The team, the league, and the NFL Players Association are all working with the 27-year-old to properly treat his addiction.

If New England defeats the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII, Gordon would receive a championship ring. He caught 40 of 68 targets with the Patriots for 720 yards and three touchdowns over 11 games after being acquired from the Cleveland Browns.
