KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) ā€” The Chiefs are signing former All-Pro wide receiver Josh Gordon, who was recently reinstated by the NFL after violations of its policies on substance abuse and performance-enhancing substances.

Gordonā€™s agents, Eric Dounn and Matt Leist, confirmed that Gordon was headed to Kansas City on Monday.

The expectation is he will join the active roster as soon as heā€™s up to speed.

The 30-year-old Gordon was one of the leagueā€™s dynamic players early in his career in Cleveland, where he led the league with 1,646 yards receiving during the 2013 season.

But he quickly became entangled in off-the-field issues, leading to six suspensions over a span of six years,  five of them for some form of substance abuse.
