NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will be spending his summer reviewing the legal situations of a number of different players—most notably receiver Plaxico Burress and quarterback Michael Vick. The Commissioner said he was beginning to focus on evaluating Michael’s situation and that a decision will come in “due time” on whether to reinstate him. Commissioner Goodell did say there was no real timeline until after Michael is released from home confinement and federal custody on July 20.

On the other hand, as far as Plaxico is concerned, Commissioner Goodell said he would not wait for the legal process to run its course before taking action. He has already initiated a review of the felony weapons charge against Plax, whose actual trial might not start until after the 2009 season.
