FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon has been placed on the injured reserve list and will reportedly miss the remainder of the 2019-20 season with New England.

The injury was confirmed by the NFL's transaction wire, with the initial injury report coming from ESPN's Field Yates.

Gordon suffered a knee injury in New England's win over the New York Giants and was inactive in their Monday night victory against the New York Jets with what was listed as a knee/ankle injury. He had previously been listed on the Patriots' injury report with a knee injury prior to the game against the Giants.

As an injured player, Josh Gordon is not eligible to be released by New England until he is able to pass a physical. If and when he can - if he isn't already - then the Patriots will be able to waive Gordon from IR, making him a free agent eligible to sign with another team for this season.

New England traded for WR Mohamed Sanu on Tuesday morning, acquiring the wideout from the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a second-round pick.

Acquired by the Patriots in September of 2018 from the Cleveland Browns, Gordon has appeared in 17 games for New England, hauling in four touchdowns. This season, Gordon has played in six of New England's seven games.
