KOREN EXPECTS ANSWER ON REINSTATEMENT WITHIN THE WEEK
A league source tells us that Packers receiver Koren Robinson expects to hear within the week whether he'll be reinstated after a one-year suspension for multiple violations of the league's substance-abuse policy.
Though many of the guys who run afoul of the policy do so because of marijuana, Robinson's primary vice was alcohol. His suspension arose from a DUI arrest that followed a high-speed car chase while Robinson was with the Vikings.
Per the source, Robinson is eligible to return as of October 17.
The addition of Robinson can't hurt the Packers, who are one of the surprise teams in the league at 4-0. It would be even better, however, if Robinson played tailback -- especially since the Packers are sporting some impressive wideouts right now with the trio of Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, and rookie James Jones.
Robinson was the ninth overall selection in the 2001 draft. The Seahawks gave up on him due to his off-field problems and an inability to catch passes on a consistent basis. He made it to the Pro Bowl in 2005 as a kick returner with the Vikings, and was expected to become their No. 1 wideout in 2006.
The Vikings cut Robinson after his arrest in August 2006, and the Packers thereafter signed him. At the press conference regarding the move, a reporter raised with Green Bay G.M. Ted Thompson the possibility that Robinson might kill a local resident while driving drunk or racing from cops.
