NFL Rumors: Patriots’ Josh Gordon Expected To Make Debut Vs. Dolphins

Get excited, New England Patriots fans.

So long as pregame warmups go well, Josh Gordon is “expected” to make his team debut Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Sunday, citing a source.

TE Rob Gronkowski, listed as Q today with an ankle injury, will play vs. Dolphins, per league source.

If Patriots? WR Josh Gordon?s hamstring is OK during pre-game warmups today, he is expected to play some today vs. Dolphins, per source.

Gordon was inactive last week and has been limited in practice with a hamstring injury since the Patriots acquired him from the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 17.

If Gordon is able to go, he should provide a huge boost to a Patriots receiving crops that’s been unable to gain separation and make big plays all season. Whether Gordon has had enough time to learn New England’s complex offensive scheme, however, remains to be seen.

For what it’s worth, the 27-year-old has garnered rave reviews from his teammates for his work ethic since coming to New England.
