Browns To Part Ways With Josh Gordon

Oct 2, 2016 12:18 PM

The Cleveland Browns will part ways with Josh Gordon.

Gordon is entering a rehabilitation facility, citing a need to "gain full control of my life."

Hue Jackson said earlier Friday that the team will "move on" from Gordon. The source acknowledged that the Browns ultimately plan to cut ties with Gordon, but noted that Jackson's comment was not meant to reflect the team's plans.

Gordon was suspended for the entire 2015 season but was reinstated conditionally on July 25 by commissioner Roger Goodell, though he also was suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season.

Statement from Josh Gordon "After careful thought and deep consideration I've decided that I need to step away from pursuing my return to the Browns and my football career to enter an inpatient rehabilitation facility.

Terrelle Pryor Believes Browns Can Win Out

Sep 28, 2016 5:28 PM

The Cleveland Browns have started the season with three straight losses, but Terrelle Pryor believes they can rebound in a big way.

Pryor accounted for 200 of Cleveland's 430 yards in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins.

"We're so close to getting over that hump," Pryor said. "Once we get over that hump, I think we're going to have a lot of success, even this year. ... I think we can win all the rest of the games. It depends on our mindset. It depends on how we look at it. It's just one week at a time."

Terrelle Pryor Plays QB, WR And Safety For Browns

Sep 26, 2016 8:17 AM

Terrelle Pryor did a little bit of everything for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, starting the game at wide receiver while also playing quarterback and safety.

Pryor caught eight passes for 144 yards and lined up 14 times at quarterback in the shotgun. As quarterback, he ran four times for 21 yards.

He played deep safety on one play in case the Miami Dolphins attempted a Hail Mary at the end of the first half.

Hue Jackson said he had never seen a player do as much in one game as Pryor did.

"But that's what I expect him to do," Jackson said. "I've been knowing him for a while, and I know what he's capable of doing. He's capable of doing a lot."
