Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon is not expected to return to the team if and when he is reinstated by the league after being suspended for violating the substance abuse policy three times, according to ESPN.com. Blackmon has not played since Week 8 of the 2013 season, and general manager David Caldwell indicated the team has not been in contact with the former first-round pick. "I have not heard anything and I guess I harbor a little bit of hope but realistically I think when you're away from the game for two-and-a-half years what you were once is not what you probably will be," Caldwell said. "Your skills do erode and especially if you're not staying in tip-top shape and you're not in football shape." Blackmon remains under contract with the Jaguars, but reports surfaced in May that he was denied reinstatement and it is uncertain if and when he will reapply.
