Ducks running back LeGarrette Blount, who was suspended for the season after punching a Boise State player, has been allowed to rejoin the team.
The university requested Blount?s reinstatement, which was approved by Pacific-10 Conference commissioner Larry Scott.
Blount will be able to play on Saturday night when they host Arizona State. He missed eight games.
Blount issued a statement saying he was grateful to Oregon coach Chip Kelly for giving him a ?second chance.?
