Per Adam Schefter, receiver Josh Gordon has reportedly been reinstated by the league.

Gordon, 28, was suspended by the NFL for violating the substance abuse policy on December 20.
With N’Keal Harry, Maurice Harris, Phillip Dorsett and numerous tight ends banged up, this gives the Super Bowl champions and their quarterback a huge target opposite Julian Edelman.
The league released their official statement regarding the matter posted by Ian Rapoport.
