Josh Gordon will serve a minimum one-year suspension this season, but he remains hopeful of returning to the field in 2016.

"With Josh, he's hanging in there," Drew Rosenhaus told The Plain Dealer over the weekend. "He's biding his time. It's a difficult process and it's meant to be difficult, obviously. But I've got faith in him and he'll get through this tough time and he still has a very bright future in the NFL in my opinion."

Gordon has been one of the NFL's most productive wide receivers since entering the league, but he has consistently struggled with off-field issues.

"The players on this team really care about Josh," Rosenhaus said. "(Cornerback) Joe Haden's been great to him and so have all of his friends on the team. That's really meant a lot to Josh during this difficult time."
