Seahawks ‘very open’ to a Josh Gordon return if he’s reinstated by NFL

Coach Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks ‘very open’ to a Josh Gordon return if he’s reinstated by NFL this season.

The Seattle Seahawks were able to utilize wide receiver Josh Gordon last season for just five games before he was ultimately suspended indefinitely by the NFL for violations of the league’s performance-enhancing drug and substance-abuse policies.

Gordon has since appealed the decision is hoping to be reinstated in time to see some action this year, hopefully before the start of the season. The wide receiver has indicated he would be interested in returning to Seattle and it seems the Seahawks feel similarly.

“Josh did a really good job with us last year, he fit in really well,” coach Pete Carroll said during his Zoom press conference on Monday. “He was part of this team, by the way we opened and embraced his coming to us, but also by the way he attacked it. So we are very open to that thought and we’ll see what happens.

“I don’t know, I can’t tell you what’s going to happen on that.”

So for now, both Carroll and Gordon will be waiting on the results of his appeal.
