Quote:He has been eligible to apply for reinstatement for some weeks now. The rule is you can apply 60 days before the 1 year anniversary of the suspension.

 

I've read that the player is supposed to show compliance to the drug policy for one year before the commissioner will reinstate the him.

 

Given his late admission to a drug program and his arrest for pot this past summer, I wouldn't expect to see him reinstated before next season.

<p style="background-color:transparent;">Suspended WR Justin Blackmon is currently enrolled in a voluntary 90-day treatment facility.


Jaguars coach Gus Bradley made the revelation at his Wednesday press conference. Blackmon is reportedly about halfway through the program, and Bradley made it sound like Blackmon is doing well. Although Blackmon is technically eligible to apply for NFL reinstatement on November 1 (Week 9), he seems like an extreme long shot to play this season. Either way, it's good to know Blackmon appears to be on the right track. Still only 24 years old, Blackmon is worth keeping stashed in Dynasty leagues. -Rotoworld
