Gordon announced on Thursday he will be "stepping away from football" temporarily to focus on his mental health. The news of his suspension came shortly thereafter.
Thursday's ban isn't Gordon's first suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Gordon missed the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons due to suspension.
The Baylor product was traded to New England from Cleveland in September. Gordon registered 40 receptions and three touchdowns in 11 games with the Patriots before Thursday's suspension.
