So what does this mean? Do the suspended players get to play?

Yes. Smith is active for Sunday and Vilma is allowed to come back. Vilma of course probably is not ready to play with his knee but he is now able to come and be with the team and get his paychecks.

Someone said this would happen so Goodell could save face and this would go away.

I need to find that post lol

If appeal decision pushes this back to Der Kommisar it could still be a mess, but first info at least looks like initial decisions by Der Kommisar were FLAWED.

Yep, it looks like they said you can still look at it again, and if you can prove intent to injure then you can re-suspend them. But for now it appears Smith and Vilma are NOT currently suspended.

Do you guys hear that sound? I think it's Goodell's jaw hitting the floor.

I thought it was Der Kommisar's HEAD bouncing off the floor when his knees buckled after hearing the decision.

Commish only has jurisdiction to punish for the "intent to injure" part of the misconduct so must reconsider case.

Panel finds that bounty conduct both constituted payment in violation of CBA and payment with intent to injure other players.
