The Cleveland Browns were disappointed in the effort from Josh Gordon in Monday's preseason loss.

"There were a couple plays where I think -- we just came out of the personnel meeting and talked about it -- that we would have definitely wanted better effort," Mike Pettine said.

Gordon is facing a potential one-year ban for a positive drug test that is currently in the appeal process.

"He needs the work learning a new system," Pettine said. "That's a room that you don't want to not play him, and then put the other players at risk by increasing their individual workloads."
