Even with the bit of legal of trouble that rookie wideout Antonio Callaway ran into during the preseason, Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson said he'll get the start at wide receiver in Week 1. He also reiterated that even if Josh Gordon is ready to play he won't be getting the start.

Callaway was given a ticket earlier this NFL preseason after police found a small amount of marijuana in his car. They also found bullets and a strap for a gun but no gun was found. Callaway told officers the car had just been shipped up from Florida and he wasn't sure what would be in the car.

Callaway ran into all sorts of legal trouble when he was with the Florida Gators, and he seems to be on a short leash with the Browns which makes it a bit of a surprise that he is getting a start to open the season.

Gordon is currently dealing with a tweaked hamstring injury but according to Jackson is right on track to play in Sunday's game. Gordon didn't report to training camp with the rest of the team because he was following his “health and treatment plan.” He hasn't failed a drug test and still has the full support of the team.

The Browns also have Jarvis Landry who will start as the No. 1 receiver and should be targeted a lot. Even though Gordon isn't starting if he is healthy enough the expectation is that he will still play a good amount of the game.
