The Browns provided no details behind their decision to part ways with Gordon, but a source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Gordon broke the team's "trust" when he reported to the facility with a hamstring issue after being a full participant in practice all week. The source said there were other "mitigating factors" inclusive of present and past incidents. The Browns declared Gordon out with a hamstring injury earlier in the day and left him in Cleveland before the team departed for New Orleans to play the Saints on Sunday.
