Just when the Seahawks thought they would see receiver Josh Gordon on the field, the NFL pumps the breaks.

Multiple reports say the Seahawks were informed Gordon would not be able to practice or play with the team quite yet.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the oft-suspended receiver had a setback with substance abuse and did not comply with his conditional reinstatement. So he's out indefinitely.  This comes just one day before Gordon was suppose to practice with Hawks and play on Sunday.

The 29-year-old was placed back on the Commissioner's exempt list.

The NFL suspended Gordon last year when he allegedly had another issue with substance abuse. He reportedly had the setback after his brother passed away.  It was his sixth suspension and fifth related to substance abuse.  

Seattle Times beat writer Bob Condotta was the first to report the Gordon situation.
