Koren Robinson Reinstated

[BallHawk]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Koren Robinson, who was suspended for one year for violating terms of the NFL's substance abuse policy, has been reinstated and can return to practice immediately, ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting.

Robinson's suspension came in the wake of an incident in August 2006 while he was playing for the Minnesota Vikings.

Police said Robinson led them on a car chase at speeds over 100 mph, and his blood-alcohol content was found to be 0.11 percent, above the legal limit of 0.08. The Vikings cut Robinson, and he signed a two-year deal with the Packers in September.

However, he played in only four games before he was suspended.

In February, Robinson was sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading down to a charge of fleeing police. Robinson also was sentenced to three months in jail for violating probation on a separate drunken-driving case in Kirkland, Wash., last year.

Nice, Drunk Driver is back to team with Don Driver making the Green Bay Receiving threat more dangerous.... All joking aside I think this is great for the Packers. He and Favre obviously developed a rapport and he should help take the pressure off of Jones. I wonder how many weeks it will take him to get into playing shape?

Well the oh so reliable internet packer chatting news mongers claim he is in the best shape of his life.

That gives us 5 true receivers on the squad which is real nice in case someone goes down.

I wouldn't be surprised if he is back returning punts instead of Woodson in Denver and being the number 4 reciever (assuming he is in shape).

That's what they always say. I still don't think it will take him too long before he's able to run, catch and take a hit. Not like he's never done it before. And not like he's never done it before with Brett. It will be interesting so see how long of a roster grace period he gets and how he's utilized by the team...

Not very christian of you, Blue.

Oh, you may be riding high, but someday you too may take a fall. It is harder to meekly inherit the earth than to put a needle into the eye of a rich camel, my friend.

The thought I read in the paper that k-rob was using Favres personal trainer. I thought it said he was running routes with Tim Rattay to be in playing shape.

Very "imbiblical" of you.

How much did Brett's comments help?

If Vinny Testeverde can come off the couch at his age, and play, then surely Robinson can do it.

Seattle gave him his first and second chance, Minnesota his third...I think this is chance number four.
