The Patriots have recently been appointed Josh Gordon on the non-football injury (NFI) list, according to the NFL.

Gordon, 28, will still be counting towards New England's 90-man roster, though he can not practice with the team until he comes off NFI. If Gordon remains on NFI at the conclusion of the preseason, Aug. 31, then he must also sit out the first six weeks of the regular season.

On Friday, commissioner Roger Goodell notified Gordon he would be reinstated on a conditional basis. Starting Sunday, he was allowed to join the team, wait for meetings, and "engage in conditioning work and individual workouts."

"We are all rooting for Josh to succeed, both personally and professionally," Goodell said in a statement. "Everyone shares in hope and will continue to help him to every extent possible. But as Josh acknowledged, his success is up to him. "

Gordon has been suspended indefinitely in December of 2018 for multiple violations of the league's substance abuse policy.
