Josh Gordon can be inactive for second straight game

New Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon could be inactive for a second straight game.

New England head coach Bill Belichick said Friday that Gordon is "doing everything he can" to get ready for his first game with the team. But there is no guarantee that will come Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

The Patriots acquired Gordon from the Cleveland Browns prior to last week's game at Detroit.

Gordon played Week 1 for the Browns and caught a 17-yard touchdown, his only reception of the season.

Belichick said Wednesday there is no concern about Gordon "catching up."

The Patriots were inconsistent moving the ball in losing two straight games, including last Sunday night to the Lions, and are limited at wide receiver. Brandin Cooks was traded in the offseason, Danny Amendola left in free agency to join the Dolphins and Julian Edelman serves the final game of a four-game ban this week.
