Browns coach Jackson says team 'moved on' from Josh Gordon
BEREA, Ohio (AP) Browns coach Hue Jackson says the team has ''moved on'' from suspended wide receiver Josh Gordon.
A day after Gordon said he's entering rehab, Jackson made it clear the Browns have ended their relationship with the 25-year-old, whose off-field troubles have prevented him from building on a breakout season in 2013.
Jackson reiterated that the team supports Gordon, who was on the brink of returning from a four-game NFL suspension for his latest drug violation. Jackson said his focus needs to on ''taking care of the players that are here.'' After fielding a few questions, Jackson, in his first year as Cleveland's coach, said he's done talking about Gordon and said the team ''needs to close that chapter right now.''
Gordon was eligible to return next week and could have played in the Oc. 9 game against New England.
