I thought this statement was interesting:

 

Quote:*Bradley said he has exchanged text messages with suspended receiver Justin Blackmon, but Caldwell said he has not heard from the league about the reinstatement process.

 

You'd think someone somewhere would know at least when Blackmon would be able to apply for reinstatement.  On the radio interview this morning, Caldwell made a similar comment about that being a league thing. 

 

I think it's safe to assume Blackmon more than likely won't be available to the team (outside of the preseason) until probably week 9 of the season.  It would be nice to get him back sooner, but I just don't think they'll let him off with less than a year suspension.
