Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith has applied for reinstatement as his one-year suspension from the NFL is set to end Nov. 17.
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie told the San Francisco Chronicle that Smith has put in his application and is working toward his return to the team.
"Aldon is doing well," McKenzie told the Chronicle on Wednesday. "That situation is going to be totally up to the league because he's been in the program and they've monitored him. It's up to Goodell to say yah, nay or when. And he could say no to everything.
