VIDEO: Josh Gordon Spotted at Patriots' Practice Monday Following Reinstatement
By Kevin Aquino
The Patriots received the outstanding news that wide receiver Josh Gordon would be reinstated by the league over the weekend, and it looks as if the former Brown is getting right down to business. Gordon was spotted at the team's practice facility doing some warmups with the team.

Eligible to play Week 1 of the NFL regular season, Gordon is seen getting loose with the squad as he prepares to make his return to action.
Gordon was indefinitely banned on Dec. 20 for violating the terms of his previous reinstatement under the league's drug policy. He filed for reinstatement a few weeks ago, and the NFL seems to think he's done enough to end his ban.
Tom Brady averages more yards per attempt targeting Josh Gordon than any player during his career (min. 30 attempts).

Josh Gordon (10.4)
Donte' Stallworth (10.2)
Chris Hogan (10.0)
Rob Gronkowski (10.0)
Brandin Cooks (9.7)
Randy Moss (9.2)
Gordon will be yet another weapon in the mix for Tom Brady, and if their successful, albeit brief, tenure together shows anything, it's that they're going to be a nuisance for opposing secondaries. In just 11 games with New England last year, Gordon caught four touchdown passes and racked up 737 yards.
With Gordon back at the team's facility, it's only a matter of time until we get footage of some awesome practice highlights.
