Hue Jackson is playing mind games with us all.
After saying for quite some time that wide receiver Josh Gordon would play but not start against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jackson ended up putting Gordon on the field for the very first snap of the game.
Josh Gordon… starts… after Hue Jackson said he wouldn't.

Fundamentally, this likely won’t change much about Gordon’s usage. Reports have indicated that he’ll be used for about 20 snaps on Sunday, which is not a huge amount, but enough to get him into the offense, which is likely the point. Still, after all his denials, it’s safe to say Jackson either had a change of heart or he had everyone going. Either way, Gordon is definitely back on the field.
