Josh Gordon had an ‘interesting’ reaction to being placed on injured reserve
Gordon took to Instagram to react to the news.
The news that the Patriots placed Josh Gordon on injured reserve came as a surprise to many, including, apparently, the wide receiver himself.
When the NFL posted the news on its Instagram account Wednesday afternoon, Gordon weighed in with a comment, replying “interesting.’’

When the Patriots traded for Mohamed Sanu, Gordon became expendable, as it seemed unlikely the Patriots would keep seven receivers on the roster once rookie N’Keal Harry was activated off the IR, a fact that Ben Volin pointed out when news of the Sanu trade broke.

Yet when the Patriots announced they were releasing tight end Eric Tomlinson, it appeared as though the team may in fact keep seven wide receivers and perhaps be down a tight end. But the news of Gordon being place on IR was followed Thursday morning with the team’s announcement that Tomlinson had, in fact, not been released, and was still on the 53-man roster.
