The Jaguars say they "haven't heard much" from suspended WR Justin Blackmon, and "it doesn't sound like it's going in the right direction." Several teammates and members of the organization have reached out to Blackmon, but he reportedly doesn't reply to their text messages or phone calls very often. Cecil Shorts indicated Blackmon has checked into rehab and is "doing all right." A former college coach of Blackmon's says the receiver admitted that he's "getting help." Blackmon caught 29 balls for 415 yards and one score in just four starts last season. His talent has never been questioned.

What a bummer. Guy has so much talent, except for when it comes to restraint. If he can get this problem under control and get himself reinstated, the Jags might actually field an offense in the near future.

Makes me sick that kids like Blackmon and Gordon have all this talent and seem to just throw it away. I hope both turn it around.

As an owner of Blackmon in my fantasy league I had good hopes for this kid. I hope what we have read is true about him on the road to recovery. If he can just stay clean he will have a future in the NFL if they let him back in.
