Hi,

I do not see any explicit note about it for the 890 routers, it is actually mentioned only for 860 (see Note in the document):

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/800/860-880-890/hardware/installation/guide/1Overview880-860.html#wp1203606

And datasheet for 890 models says they can be used for balancing, meaning you should be able to use both:

Integrated Gigabit Ethernet, SFP, and Fast Ethernet WAN ports

•  Integrated ports offer flexibility in Ethernet WAN access, and the  additional capability to deploy redundant WAN connections for failover  protections and load balancing.

Kind Regards,
Ivan
