Monday afternoon, Nutt told the Jackson Clarion-Ledger that Patterson could rejoin the team at some point in the next two weeks, provided "he does everything he's supposed to do."
Last season, Patterson accounted for 12 receptions, 180 yards and a touchdown while also landing a one-game suspension for the same "thing" that got him suspended this spring, the ubiquitous "unspecified violation of team rules".
Like Patterson, defensive back Tig Barksdale was suspended for most of spring practice. Unlike Patterson, apparently, Barksdale isn't progressing as well as his teammate as Nutt told the Clarion-Ledger that the DB has "a long way to go" before he would be allowed to rejoin the team. Looking at his checkered past in Oxford; a DUI last summer, then leaving school under mysterious medical circumstances, the paper writes that his return should be considered a longshot.
