As I had hoped, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reinstated Green Bay Packers WR Koren Robinson to the league today. Packers GM Ted Thompson released the following statement:
“The league has informed us that Koren Robinson has been reinstated, effective Thursday, October 18, 2007. We understand and appreciate the Commissioner’s consideration in this matter. It’s been a year since we’ve seen Koren, so our first step is to have him return to Green Bay. The Packers will request a roster exemption, during which time we would see where Koren is at in terms of football shape. We are aware how difficult this past year has been for Koren, but the Packers are grateful for the progress he’s made, as evidenced by this reinstatement.”
It may take Koren some time to get into “football shape,” but from what I’ve been hearing about his workouts in Arizona, it shouldn’t take him too long. Apparently he’s in the best condition of his life. I’m real happy for Koren. He’s a good guy and deserves this chance to make things right in his career and life.
