The Patriots are reportedly disciplining wide receiver Josh Gordon for Monday night's game against the Bills because of tardiness, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.
Rapoport said Gordon is expected to be kept off of the field for multiple offensive series, likely totaling about a quarter.
Sources: The #Patriots are disciplining WR Josh Gordon during tonight’s game vs. the #Bills because of tardiness. He’s expected to be kept off the field for several series — about a quarter — as they continue to work with & manage him. It’ll be regular playing time after that.

After the discipline is done, Rapoport said Gordon is expected to be back to getting his normal reps for the rest of the game.
Gordon was traded to the Patriots by the Browns back on September 17, and has a troubled history with varying suspensions for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
