Gordon was initially questionable to return, according to the Browns:

Prior to suffering the ailment, Gordon was having his way with Jacksonville's suspect secondary. Gordon and quarterback Brandon Weeden were very much on the same page as evidenced by Gordon's stat line of seven catches for 149 yards and a touchdown.    

His exit from the game is significant because Cleveland led just 21-20 over the Jags when he departed. Aside from Gordon and tight end Jordan Cameron, no Browns pass-catcher had more than one reception prior to Gordon leaving the contest.

Gordon entered Sunday's game on the verge of a 1,000-yard season despite having played in just nine games. He surpassed that mark with flying colors on the heels of a 237-yard outburst against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12.
