Josh Gordon is now available after getting waived by the New England Patriots, but don't expect the Washington Redskins to come calling.

According to Josina Anderson of ESPN, the Redskins are not likely to put in a claim for Gordon before the 4 p.m. ET deadline on Friday.

The Redskins have a young group of receivers that includes Terry McLaurin, Paul Richardson and Trey Quinn, and while that trio has not been the most productive group this season, Anderson notes that Washington likes those three moving forward.

Gordon was placed on the injured reserve list by the Patriots just over a week ago, which seemed to be a puzzling move at the time given that Gordon's knee issue did not seem severe enough to warrant a trip to injured reserve.

However, it was then revealed that New England planned on releasing the wide out, and the Pats did just that on Thursday.

On Friday morning, Tom Curran of NBC Sports Boston reported that the Patriots were not happy with Gordon's work ethic, as the 28-year-old had been late to team meetings and was difficult for coaches to locate at times.

Gordon was a major disappointment in New England this season, logging just 20 catches for 287 yards and a touchdown in six games.

The Baylor product joined the Pats in September 2018 after coming over in a trade with the Cleveland Browns. He played in 11 games for the Patriots last season before being hit with an indefinite suspension for violating the NFL's drug policy.

Gordon was reinstated in August.
