Days before opening training camp, the Cleveland Browns learned Josh Gordon will be missing again.
The troubled receiver, who has been suspended numerous times over the past six years by the NFL for drug violations, said on Twitter that he won't be with the team for the start of camp as he continues to recover from addictions that have derailed his once-promising career.
Gordon has missed two full years after being indefinitely suspended by Commissioner Roger Goodell and hasn't played a complete season since 2013, when he led the league in yards receiving and scored nine touchdowns.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the 27-year-old has not been suspended.

Tebow to have surgery
Mets minor leaguer Tim Tebow is set for hand surgery Tuesday and likely done for the season, dashing his hopes of playing in the majors this year.
The 30-year-old outfielder will have surgery in New York to remove his broken right hamate bone. He hurt himself last week swinging the bat.
The former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner was hitting .273 with six home runs and 36 RBI in 84 games for Double-A Binghamton.

Tayler Hill traded
Washington traded former Minneapolis South star Tayler Hill and a second-round pick in next year's draft to Dallas for Aerial Powers. Hill has averaged 9.2 points in her 134 career games since being the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft by the Mystics. The Ohio State standout has come off the bench for all 13 of her games this season after suffering a torn ACL midway through last season, averaging 3.0 points and 1.0 assists in nine minutes a game.
