Oregon may reinstate Blount

[.GR]

Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount, suspended for the season after his postgame tirade at Boise State on Sept. 3, could be reinstated after all. Ducks coach Chip Kelly will discuss Blount's status after today's practice, and a release Thursday night from the school said Kelly's plan "could include Blount's potential reinstatement prior to the conclusion of the 2009 season.'' Blount has practiced regularly with the team for the past three weeks, mostly on the scout team. He has attended all the games. On Thursday, a letter of apology signed by Blount appeared in the campus newspaper.

Not like the need him. That fresh they have has been hella impressive. He tore up that Cal run defense too.

They probably are only considering this because they have a realistic chance at winning the pac 10 now.

It seemed like a bit much.

I doubt he starts if he comes back. He'll be their #2 back I'm guessing.

Don't they usually use the two-back system anyways?

I think it was dumb on the part of Chip Kelly to give him such a long suspension and now he looks like a dumbass in my opinion for now maybe reinstating him. He shouldn't have given Blount that long of a suspension in the first place, half the season would have been enough in my opinion.
