CFB: No announcement on suspended RB Blount yet, Oregon coach says


Associated Press

EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon coach Chip Kelly says there’s nothing to report about the possible reinstatement of suspended running back LeGarrette Blount.

Kelly spoke to reporters Monday morning during his weekly teleconference.
Blount was suspended for punching Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the aftermath of Oregon’s season-opening loss to the Broncos. He was suspended for the season by Kelly the next day, but allowed to continue practicing with the team.
Kelly later announced that Blount could be reinstated if he met certain conditions.
There was speculation Blount could return this week because Kelly had previously targeted Saturday’s game against Stanford as his first possible appearance.
