The Seattle Seahawks may be able to re-sign troubled wide receiver Josh Gordon before the end of the month, according to NFL insider John Clayton.

On Wednesday, Clayton reported that Gordon, who applied for NFL reinstatement in June following his latest ban for violations of the league's drugs and performance-enhancing substances policies, could learn of his fate "in the next week or two."
