Quote:Last I heard about Blackmon was when Cecil commented about him in an interview a week ago saying he recently spoke to him  " All I can say is he's (Blackmon) doing very very very well right now and I can't comment any further "

 

Seems like he's enjoying and fixing his life with family/friends or he's getting back into shape to apply for reinstatement. There's a good chance we hear from him towards week 15 just because of his relationship with the team and Cecil. I don't think he's done in the NFL.

 

You don't think Shorts' comments may have been prepared for him by the team?  When he says "All I can say is he's doing very very very well right now and I can't comment any further", that response came after he was asked if he had had any recent contact with Blackmon, to which he responded no.  So, he's not getting that information from Blackmon. 

 

The last we've heard about Justin's progress was a video of him being arrested for possession of a controlled substance after being stopped for driving like an idiot.  That's the last concrete evidence we have of anything. 

 

Hopefully he is working on this and trying to get his life back on track.  But, let's not delude ourselves into thinking that update Shorts offered up was anything more than PR coming from the team.
