Cleveland Browns fans who remember Josh Gordon probably still won’t get to see him on the field in 2017.

USA Today reports the All-Pro receiver’s bid for reinstatement from a suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy has been denied by the NFL.

Per the report, the 26-year-old can reapply for reinstatement this fall.

Gordon last played in an NFL game in 2014.

He was an All-Pro in 2013 when he caught 87 passes for 1,646 yards.
