A person with knowledge of Gordon's actions confirmed to USA TODAY that Gordon has taken the formal step of seeking reinstatement. The person asked to remain anonymous because Gordon has not made his intentions public. ESPN was the first to report the move.
The league banned Gordon for at least one season last February after Gordon violated the league’s substance abuse policy a third time.
Gordon had already served two suspensions for violating the league's drug policy when the NFL announced the latest violation on Feb. 3. The one-year ban began on that date and reinstatement application was a necessary step to be cleared ahead of the 2016 season.
The NFL is required to make a decision on his return within 60 days.
Gordon is still under contract with the Browns for next season. If reinstated, he would become an restricted free agent in 2017.
By sitting out this season, Gordon forfeited $1.07 million in salary and part of his signing bonus.
