"ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Josh Gordon "did not have any slip ups or failed tests."
Schefter reports Gordon's absence is "a pro-active, defensive gesture to get extra counseling to try to ensure he does not have any of the setbacks that have marked his past," exactly the situation Gordon described in a statement Monday morning. While the NFL ominously said they will "address" the situation, it sounds like Gordon is telling the truth. In his statement, Gordon said he has "every intention of being ready and available to join my teammates soon."

"NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said the league will "address" the Josh Gordon situation "at the appropriate time."
In a statement, Gordon said he will miss the start of camp as part of his "overall health and treatment plan," but this ominous quote suggests there is something more going on. That said, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero was told Gordon is "absolutely not suspended." At this point, it is impossible to know if Gordon will be available for Week 1. The Browns have placed Gordon on the non-football illness list."

"A source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero that Josh Gordon is "absolutely not suspended."
Given his history, it is understandable some would be skeptical of Gordon, who says he is missing the start of camp as part of his "overall health and treatment plan." Pelissero's report suggests he is telling the truth, but NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said the league will "address the matter at the appropriate time." It sounds like there is real reason for concern.
In a series of tweets, Josh Gordon said he will miss the start of training camp but has "every intention of being ready and available to join my teammates soon."
Gordon says the absence is "part of my overall health and treatment plan," suggesting this was expected. "By continuing to follow the plan set up by our medical director and his team and taking this time before this season starts," Gordon writes, "we believe it will help me maintain the progress I’ve made for not only today but for many years to come."
