Browns' Dorsey reiterates Josh Gordon will rejoin team

Cleveland Browns general manager John Dorsey isn't fretting over wide receiver Josh Gordon's prolonged absence from training camp while he works on his health, including reported counseling for anxiety.

"I told you all he would be here, and he will be here,'' said Dorsey, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.

Gordon missed the 2015 and 2016 seasons, and he's played just 10 games over the past four years due to substance-abuse suspensions. He returned for the final five games of the 2017 season, recording 18 receptions on 42 targets for 335 yards and one touchdown.

Teammate Rashard Higgins said he's been keeping in touch with Gordon, and the team will support him upon his eventual return.

"It will be like Josh never was gone when he comes back," said Higgins, according to ESPN. "That's how we're going to treat things. I feel like the team is a good supporting cast for him, just him knowing that we're here for him and we've got his back, no matter what.
