Lawyer: Gordon’s DWI case rescheduled for November

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The attorney for Josh Gordon says the Cleveland Browns receiver’s hearing on a drunken-driving charge in North Carolina has been rescheduled for November.

Gordon was due to appear in Wake County court Tuesday on charges of driving while impaired and speeding. Attorney Trey Fitzhugh says Gordon had a waiver to miss the pretrial appearance and the case is continued until Nov. 18.

Gordon was arrested July 5 in Raleigh after being pulled for going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone.

He is still waiting to hear from the NFL on whether he’ll be suspended for all or part of the upcoming season for violating the league’s substance-abuse program. The Pro Bowler led the NFL with 1,646 yards receiving last year.
