Commish Mum on Plax, Vick

Jul 22, 2009

Neither Michael Vick nor Plaxico Burress know when they'll be stepping on a football field again, but both will meet with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell before they do.

And the commissioner was tight-lipped yesterday about when those meetings would occur and what their outcomes might be.

"The process is ongoing, and I hope to make a decision sometime in the near future," Goodell said regarding Vick's status after the former Falcons quarterback ended his 23-month federal prison sentence Monday for his involvement in a dog-fighting ring.

"I've been involved. I expect to meet with him."

Goodell added he doesn't know when that would happen. He has previously said that Vick needed to show "genuine remorse" in order to be reinstated.

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.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

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.
