Josh Gordon questionable to make Patriots debut against Dolphins image

Josh Gordon may or may not make his New England Patriots debut on Sunday.

The 27-year-old wide receiver is listed as questionable for New England's week four game against the Miami Dolphins. Gordon has been dealing with a hamstring injury.

The Patriots acquired Gordon from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a late-round draft choice earlier this month. New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said on Thursday he is confident Gordon will pick up the team's system.

"He's doing a really good job of working hard at that and trying to get himself caught up so that he knows what to do when he's out there and can do it at a dependable level," McDaniels said (via ESPN).

Gordon caught a 17-yard touchdown pass in the Browns' season-opening 21-21 tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

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.
