    Robinson could be reinstated

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Koren Robinson who was suspended one year last year for violating the leagues substance abuse policy can be reinstated after one year and guess what its almost a year and i heard that he put in the papers to the commisioners office and he will know next week.The indication around the league is he will get reinstated because he has met all the guidelines set for reinstatement and yes the packers do want him back because of his undeniable ability and athletisism and he can definetely help them out.if reinstated he can play either their first game but thats doubtful but most likely it would be between week 2 and 3.he was suspended september 8th"

    found this on another forum, not trying to steal so I made sure the author`s name was still there. This is the latest news I`ve heard of this though. 1st or 2nd week??? that seems really soon I was thinking he wouldnt be back til october if he does in fact get reinstated.

      I would actually be surprised if Robinson got reinstated this year. It just doesn't seem in keeping with the M.O. of the comish.

        Do we really need him? I think we will do fine with Driver, Jennings, JJ, and Ruvell.

          I think if i remember correctly if he did get reinstated we could bring him in and it wouldn`t count against our 53 man roster for a certain amount of time. Then I guess if he looked good someone would have to go to P.S. or get released.

            Sure as hell would hurt. As you can see anyone can get injured, so why not have some insurance?

              Doesn't Krob have some decent speed? Honestly, I forget. They could use a guy to stretch the field. Their recieviers (including TE's) lack speed.

                He filed his papers this week as mentioned. Since he's been clean it's quite possible they will let him back. He hasn't played much since 2005 so I doubt he'll make much of an impact. He's pretty fast but drops alot of balls, at least that was his MO in Seattle. He was mainly a returner in Minnesota until his 120 mile an hour chase. He did a great job returning kicks.

                  Is anyone reading or observing otherwise any dirt on Greg Jennings attitude this TC?

                  James Jones has been given the shot and really stepped up to appear now as our #2 WR.

                  Am I seeing this correct and if so may this be affecting Jennings?

                    Say, he does have some speed. The packers need the guy, they got too many possession recievers: Jennings, Jones, Ruevel

                      I agree with the commish hard stance on suspending players that are breaking the law......however, he also needs to recognize those that have kept things clean during their suspension period. In fact, IMO he should knock off a lil time at the end if they've been good......kinda like the prisoner getting good time credit.

                        He was suspended Sept 8th, but appealed and was permitted to play during the appeal. I think his suspension actually started October 17th.

                        Not sure whether he could return before that or not, however, he hasn't (as previously mentioned) played much football since 2005, missed both training camps, wasn't permitted to have contact with the team nor workout at their facility, and spent at least two stretches of time in the clink.

                        Really, what are the odds he's in football shape and could contribute? Do we really need a #4 WR, that's 28 with a drug/alcohol problem instead of holiday or Martin? Also, yeah, he's a great returner, but is he better than Blackmon?

                        This is just the lot that Thompson has dealt the Packers. Win or lose, we play by Ted's rules this year. There is NO magic pill to make this team appear better on paper. There is NO magic trade in the offing that'll bring some superstar to GB, and there is NO magic suspension fairy that's going to bring a pro bowl performing receiver to our receiver corps.

                        He might get reinstated (that'd be the miracle), so we're likely not getting a second miracle that he'll contribute. More likely, he gets reinstated, then gets cut.

                          Not to mention, he could also play KR opposite Blackmon.

                            and what IS the m.o. of the commish, anyway? is it the death penalty for everything, even if you meet the terms of your suspension? i think not, but i'm curious to see how goodell deals with this since krob's suspension started under tagliabue and not goodell....

                              Well which player was it that he allowed to practice with the team this offseason because he hadn't shot anyone yet this year?
