Earlier this month, the Cleveland Browns announced that Gordon would be reinstated on a conditional basis.
Wednesday's appearance in Berea marked the first time he had participated in a practice since 2016. He hasn't played in a regular season game with the Browns since 2014.
Gordon has been upfront with his battle with addiction, opening up about substance abuse in a 13-minute documentary by the all-digital sports programming network Uninterrupted.
