Gordon Wants to Stay With Browns

By ESPN

Multiple teams have reached out to the Cleveland Browns to inquire about the availability of wide receiver Josh Gordon, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

However, a Browns team source told Schefter that the team is not looking to trade Gordon.

Gordon said Tuesday that he doesn't want to be traded.

"I haven't heard too much about it," Gordon said. "Cleveland is my team. That's where I want to be, everything like that. That's not even in the ballpark for me. I'm not sure how that works."

Cleveland has tried to establish an environment in which Gordon could thrive, and many around the league believe first-year head coach Hue Jackson is the right coach for him.

"I think it works out perfectly then for me," he said. "Mr. [Jimmy] Haslam, the organization, Coach Jackson, I think the world of those guys, this city, this organization. They're showing me the love and respect back to me by allowing me to stay here up to this point.

"I expect to move forward with that. I'm excited about it. This is where I want to be and I'm happy to be with Cleveland."

Gordon took part in three series with the Browns' starters in Sunday's practice.

Gordon, 25, is suspended for the first four games to start the regular season, but the NFL is allowing him to participate in team activities during the ban.

Chicago Bears

Coach John Fox's policy is to reveal next to nothing when it pertains to injuries, but the Bears will keep close tabs on guard Kyle Long's shoulder problem in the coming days. Long, who hurt the shoulder in last week's preseason game in New England, has sat out three consecutive practices. Fox was non-committal when pressed on Long's status for Week 1 of the regular season. In more encouraging news, tight end Zach Miller and receiver Eddie Royal both seem close to returning from concussions. Miller and Royal practiced on Tuesday, but each wore the red "no contact" jersey as they attempt to pass the NFL's concussion protocol. -- Jeff Dickerson

Indianapolis Colts

New Colts cornerback Antonio Cromartie isn't sure he'll play in Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles. He completed his first practice with the Colts on Tuesday. Cromartie said he plans to be ready for the regular-season opener against the Lions on Sept. 11. "That's about 19 or 20 days away," he said. "I will be ready for that, there's no question about that." -- Mike Wells
