Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon will be suspended two games this upcoming season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, according to ESPNCleveland. Gordon will also miss out on four game checks.

Gordon had a history of drug policies while in college at Baylor University. After failing two drug tests at Baylor, he transferred to Utah and failed another test. Gordon was drafted by the Browns in the 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft.

Gordon caught 50 balls and led the Browns with 850 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie last season.
