Titans signing former All-Pro receiver Josh Gordon to practice squad, agent says
The Tennessee Titans are signing former All-Pro receiver Josh Gordon to their practice squad, his agent, Zac Hiller of LAA Sports, confirmed to The Tennessean on Thursday.
ESPN first reported the news.
Gordon, 31, reportedly visited with the Titans on Wednesday. He led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013 with the Cleveland Browns – his second NFL season – but multiple suspensions for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse derailed his once-promising career.

A one-time Pro Bowler, Gordon has been suspended by the league six times, including the entirety of the 2015 and '16 seasons.
He has 252 receptions for 4,284 yards and 25 touchdowns in seven seasons (75 career games) with the Browns (2012-14; 2017-18), New England Patriots (2018-19), Seattle Seahawks (2019) and Kansas City Chiefs (2021). The Chiefs cut him Tuesday as they reduced their roster to 53 players.
Gordon gives the Titans veteran receiver depth. They have just five receivers on their 53-man roster: Robert Woods, Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Cody Hollister, who was signed to the active roster after Racey McMath's placement on injured reserve.
Tennessee has three other receivers on the practice squad: Dez Fitzpatrick, Mason Kinsey and Reggie Roberson Jr.
A corresponding roster move to make room for Gordon on the practice squad was not immediately clear.
