EUGENE -- University of Oregon football coach Chip Kelly says there's nothing to report about the possible reinstatement of suspended running back LeGarrette Blount.
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.

So the No. 3 Ducks' season opener against No. 4 LSU on Saturday has all kinds of implications for him: It's a chance to redeem himself against a highly ranked team on national television, a game many say will set the tone for the season. It's at Cowboys Stadium in his home state of Texas, so a lot of friends and family will be there.
And on top of that, Thomas was set on going to LSU before changing his mind and committing to Oregon.

No. 3 Oregon again showed otherwise.

PORTLAND -- Oregon head coach Chip Kelly announced today that he's remaining with the Ducks, though he says he was flattered by the interest shown in him by the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"I enjoyed meeting with the Glazer family and General Manager Mark Dominik, but after numerous discussions, I concluded that I have some unfinished business to complete at the University of Oregon," Kelly said in a statement released through the school.
The Bucs are searching for a new head coach after firing Raheem Morris after finishing last in the NFC South.
