Can Larry Johnson Save His Reputation?

Larry Johnson returned to practice today and is most likely going to resume his role as the team's #1 back. Is it too late for him to salvage his reputation? Legal troubles - including a frivolous lawsuit for spitting a drink in a woman's face - are harming his image, as is a 3-game benching by the Chiefs and a 1-game suspension from the league for violating the Personal Conduct Policy. Can Johnson redeem himself in the eyes of his fans? Or is his play on the field all that matters?
