Quote:So when do we hear anything about him?  It is kind of weird to me we never really heard anything from the jags or the league after his last mess up.  Yea I will probably get blasted for posting this, but this whole situation has been kind of strange to me.

 

Is he still able to ask for reinstatement after the 8th game or not?  With all these wr not able to stay on the field sure would be nice to have the thought of him back at some point.  Bortles and Justin would be awesome on the field together.

 

Blackmon missed the final eight games of 2013 serving his indefinite suspension. He can apply for reinstatement one year from that date, but the Jaguars "aren't counting on him" this season. Still, it's surprising more hasn't been made of Blackmon's situation. Though not unprecedented, suspending Blackmon 24 games would be a strong message from the NFL. Odell Thurman and Tanard Jackson were denied reinstatement under Roger Goodell and received two-year bans. (Thurman had multiple off-field arrests and Jackson was rumored to have violated the terms of his Treatment Plan). It's not clear if Blackmon is currently in good standing with the league. Similar to Josh Gordon's DUI, Blackmon's July marijuana arrest complicates matters and will subject him to the NFL's personal conduct policy when he's eligible to return
