So Josh Gordon was never going to be disciplined?

Josh Gordon’s first “issue” with his new team seems to be just a false report.

It was said that the New England Patriots wide receiver would be disciplined going into the Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills due to tardiness.

Sources: The #Patriots are disciplining WR Josh Gordon during tonight’s game vs. the #Bills because of tardiness. He’s expected to be kept off the field for several series — about a quarter — as they continue to work with & manage him. It’ll be regular playing time after that.

According to the tweet, Gordon was expected to miss “several series – about a quarter.”

And because of his off-field actions in the past, it’s no wonder this report was believable. However, Gordon got the start and caught four passes for 42 yards.
