Packers wide receiver Koren Robinson was handed a one year suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy on September 18, 2006. His appeal was denied on October 17, 2006. His one year is now almost up and he has applied for reinstatement to the league and given an opportunity to rejoin the Packers. His application is currently under review and it is unclear when a decision will be handed down on the matter. It is likely that the Packers will receive a roster exemption for Robinson when he is reinstated, which will last until heis activated for a game. One of Robinson’s most outspoken supporters has been Brett Favre who said: He’s eager to get back and says he’s in tremendous shape. I’m not the commissioner, but I think there needs to be something positive — there hasn’t been a whole lot positive as far as suspensions and things of that nature. It would be nice, now I’m a little biased, but I think he’s done everything he’s been asked to do, and it’s time to set a good example that you can resurrect not only your career, but also your life. There’s still a lot left for him to do on and off the field. Give the guy an opportunity.” If Robinson rejoins the team on the one year anniversary of his failed appeal, he could be active as soon as week 8. Though the capacity of his contribution would be unclear, at the very least it could mean getting Charles Woodson off punt returns without losing quality in the return game. During his suspension, Robinson had surgery on his knee to repair some tendinitis that had been bothering him since he joined the Packers. Since then he has been rehabbing and working out to stay in the best football shape he can, all in preparation for a return to the team. Here’s hoping he comes back and makes the Packers’ passing game that much more dangerous. Comments |
