The Browns are waiting on the NFL to rule on All-Pro Josh Gordon, who faces a year-long suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse program.Marquess Wilson, the Bears' No. 3 receiver, is out indefinitely after breaking his clavicle in practice. 

Holmes, 30, was released by the New York Jets ​in March after four seasons with the team. He had 23 catches for 456 yards and one touchdown last season and has 36 touchdowns in eight NFL seasons.
