Ricky Williams Get’s Another Chance

Ricky Williams’ suspension was cut short after 18 months Wednesday when Ricky Williams was reinstated by the NFL. Still unclear is whether the Miami Dolphins want him back. Ricky Williams in 2002 lead the league in rushing, who has played in only 12 games since the start of the 2004 season. Ricky Williams spent last season with the Toronto Argonauts and applied for reinstatement Oct. 1.

Ricky Williams was suspended last year after violating the league’s drug policy for the fourth time and tested positive again for marijuana in April, delaying his return through the first half of this season. Ricky Williams remains under contract with the Dolphins.

The league said Ricky Williams is eligible to attend team meetings and practice immediately, but will not be able to play in a game until Miami plays at Pittsburgh on Monday night, Nov. 26. The team will have a roster exemption for up to two weeks if and when Ricky Williams starts practicing.

Ricky Williams rushed for 3,225 yards in the 2002 and 2003 seasons after being traded to the Dolphins from New Orleans. Ricky Williams then retired in 2004, traveling in India and Australia before returning to the Dolphins in 2005, when Ricky Williams ran for 743 yards alternating with rookie Ronnie Brown.

Man, I think this guy poses a risk to any team he might join. He will probably just get caught again and the team will be at a loss. Its a risk.
