BEREA, Ohio (AP) – A person familiar with the decision says Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has hired attorney Maurice Suh to represent him at his appeal hearing with the NFL.
Suh, who helped Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman win an appeal for a suspension in 2012, will be with Gordon in New York on Friday, said the person who spoke Tuesday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks.
ESPN first reported Suh’s hiring.
Gordon is facing an indefinite ban under the league’s substance abuse policy. While he awaits his hearing, the Pro Bowler has been at training camp with the Browns. He has declined interview requests.
Gordon was suspended for two games last season, but led the league in yards receiving. He reportedly checked into rehab following a recent DWI arrest in Raleigh, North Carolina.
