The Facts: Gordon is due to end a three-month rehab stint in four days. Whether that leads to his reinstatement will surely take a little (or a lot) longer than that. Asked for comment on the Gordon's status, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told PFT, "We do not have an update."

Diehards Line: The last update came from Commissioner Roger Goodell, who said in August at a Browns fan forum that Gordon “is not under active consideration” for reinstatement. This means that an application for reinstatement still needs to be made. As PFT's Mike Florio notes, if/when Gordon, who has missed more than two full seasons under his latest suspension, is ever reinstated, the Browns will have to decide whether to bring him back, trade him, or release him. He has shown a significant degree of ability when he has played, but it’s been so long since Gordon has played it’s hard to know what he’d be able to do.
