Bounty Scandal Decision Overturned

[sportznut]

Well, this is surprising news, and I suppose could be reversed yet again, but for now the suspensions have been overturned, allowing Jonathan Vilma, Will Smith, Anthony Hargrove, and Scott Fujita to play.

That means Goodell needs to do the same here, so the teams with these players are allowed to add them to their DC. It certainly could be an issue for teams to activate someone, and get back to 53 players though.

I'd agree, but would say that they need to be each listed as Doubtful... as that is what they are in real life.

They're not injured, other than Vilma.

You're setting a dangerous precedent, trying to determine how prepared or in shape one is. If they're not hurt or on the injury list, they shouldn't be listed as anything.

This is going to be interesting, but i bet this is not over by Far.....Goodell is not going to let this go....

I would agree, and expect them to be suspended again by week 2.

Vilma's hurt, but from what I heard, all the players are doubtful to play Sunday. Maybe I didn't hear correctly.

I take that back... sounds like Smith and Fujita will play. Vilma's out and Hargrove doesn't have a team.
