The immensely talented but troubled Josh Gordon, who broke out as one of the NFL’s biggest playmakers last season, returned from his 10-game, league-imposed suspension for drug violations on Monday and was a welcomed sight to the Browns, still stinging from a 23-7 loss on Sunday to the Houston Texans.
