New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon suffered a couple of injuries during his team's win over the New York Jets on Sunday, first injuring his back in the first half before jamming his finger in the third quarter.

But Gordon fought through both injuries and ended up having a terrific game, hauling in six receptions for 83 yards in what ended up being a 30-14 victory.

On Wednesday, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady praised Gordon's toughness:

“Guys were dropping like flies out there and he just kept getting back up,” said Brady, according to Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston.

On the season overall, Gordon has caught 11 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown.

Gordon joined New England in September of 2018 after coming over in a trade with the Cleveland Browns, and in 11 games with the Pats, he snared 40 balls for 720 yards and three scores.

However, in December, Gordon announced he would be stepping away from football to work on his mental health, and not long after, it was revealed that he had been hit with an indefinite suspension for violating the league's drug policy.

The NFL decided to reinstate the 28-year-old over the summer.

Gordon, who played his collegiate football at Baylor University, was originally selected by the Browns in the second round of the 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft.

His first two seasons in Cleveland were brilliant, including a 2013 campaign in which he registered 87 catches for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns. However, from 2014 through 2018, Gordon played in just 22 games due to numerous drug-related bans.

But now, Gordon appears to be on the right track, and it's paying dividends for both himself and the Patriots.
