Josh Gordon wasn't the only no show in Cleveland today. Per league source, Johnny Manziel also was not at facility. He's currently on IR.

Gordon was initially slated to miss the entire 2014 campaign after violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, but his ban was reduced to 10 games after the policy was amended.
 
The former Baylor star returned on Nov. 23 and helped the Browns beat the Atlanta Falcons with eight catches for 120 yards, but he hasn't been nearly as productive since.
 
Regardless of his ability, Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan is among those who believe the Browns should move on from the troubled receiver:

Source with knowledge of Browns' thinking says suspension of Josh Gordon is also motivated by team wanting to delay his free agency status

Gordon is as talented as they come, as evidenced by his 1,600-yard season in 2013, but he finds himself in trouble far too often.
 
His season is now undoubtedly over, and it will be interesting to see if his Browns career has reached its conclusion as well.

Johnny Manziel had a team mandated treatment appointment, and he missed it. Team security had to go wake him at his apartment because he was sleeping off the party from the night before.
