Suspended wide receiver Justin Blackmon is almost entirely not coming back to the NFL, and Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said as much.

According to Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, Caldwell's most recent comments come on Tuesday afternoon when he was asked about the receiver's status.
"I guess I harbor hope, but realistically, when you're away from the game for two-and-a-half years, what you were once is not what you will probably be," Caldwell said.
