The Cleveland Browns activated wide receiver Josh Gordon on Saturday, a day before he is set to make his season debut against Atlanta.

Gordon was activated at the end of a suspension for violating the NFL's policy on substance abuse.

An initial season-long suspension was reduced to 10 games in September after the league and players union agreed on changes to their policies on substance abuse and performance-enhancing drugs.

Gordon, 23, led the NFL with 1,646 yards last season and made the Pro Bowl for the first time.

The Browns also waived linebacker Keith Pough.
