Tennessee Titans sign former All-Pro receiver Josh Gordon to practice squad

The Tennessee Titans signed former All-Pro receiver Josh Gordon to their practice squad, the team announced Thursday.

Gordon, 31, reportedly visited with the Titans on Wednesday. He led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013 with the Cleveland Browns – his second NFL season – but multiple suspensions for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse derailed his promising career.

A one-time Pro Bowler, Gordon has been suspended by the league six times, including the entirety of the 2015 and '16 seasons.

He has 252 receptions for 4,284 yards and 25 touchdowns in seven seasons (75 career games) with the Browns (2012-14; 2017-18), New England Patriots (2018-19), Seattle Seahawks (2019) and Kansas City Chiefs (2021). The Chiefs cut him Tuesday as they reduced their roster to 53 players.

Gordon gives the Titans veteran receiver depth. They have just five receivers on their 53-man roster: Robert Woods, Treylon Burks, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Kyle Philips and Cody Hollister, who was signed to the active roster after Racey McMath's placement on injured reserve.

In addition to Gordon, Tennessee signed tight end Kevin Rader to the practice squad. Receiver Reggie Roberson and tight end David Wells were released to make room.
