Former Coach Reeves Reaching Out to Vick

Jul 18, 2009

Ex- Falcons coach Dan Reeves has been unsuccessful trying to contact Michael Vick to offer support.

"I've even written, and I've tried to make appointments to see him in prison, but they never got back to me," Reeves told FanHouse, sounding more perplexed than perturbed by the situation.

"I don't know if he doesn't want to talk to me because he's embarrassed or what," said Reeves, who lives in Atlanta, where he coached Vick for the first three seasons of his career. "I don't know, but I want him to know that I'm on his side. I can't do anything more than I'm trying to do.

"If he's looking for somebody to stand up for him and to be a father figure and not try to make a buck like most of the people around him are doing -- you know, I just want to help him. I wish he would call me."

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
