Kansas City Chiefs signed Josh Gordon on 27th September when he was fully reinstated in the NFL. And since his signing, Gordon has impressed everyone on the team in the very first week.

His form looks so impressive that he might make it to the active roster within a week’s time, according to sources. The 30-year-old has been reinstated to the NFL and signed to the Chief’s practice squad after a long suspension because of the league’s substance abuse policy for the fifth time.
