Wide receiver Josh Gordon is back on the Browns' active roster.

Cleveland has activated Gordon, 27, from the “non-football injury list,” the team announced Saturday. He will participate in the team’s walk-throughs.

Gordon announced last week he was re-joining Cleveland after he stepped away from the team to deal with personal issues before the start of training camp.

Browns coach Hue Jackson said in a conference call with reporters earlier this month “there’s a chance” Gordon will suit up Sept. 9 when his team faces the Steelers in Week 1.

Gordon has been suspended multiple times for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. He missed the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons before returning last year.

Gordon’s best season came in 2013 when he made the Pro Bowl after registering 1,646 receiving yards and nine touchdowns for the Browns.
