Browns' Josh Gordon will start Sunday in game vs. Chargers, coach Hue Jackson says

Posted

Wide Receiver Josh Gordon will start Sunday in the Browns game against the Los Angeles Charges.

The 26-year-old, who led the league with 1,646 yards receiving in 2013, returned in pristine shape and ran a 4.35 40 last week, shocking some of his teammates.

Gordon has also impressed the Browns with his attitude, and Jackson said he wasn't concerned about recent revelations about Gordon's troubled past.

"He earned the right to get back here," Jackson said. "He has to earn the right to be here each and every day. He has been outstanding thus far here. I think all of the things I think were talked about were past behaviors."

On the question of whether Gordon would start, Gordon said: “Am I comfortable saying that? Heck yeah. Are you kidding me (laughter)? Yeah, he is going to start. Right away.”
