Saints Players Win Appeal
According to ESPNs Adam Schefter, Saints players have won their appeal case resulting from the "Bounty Gate" scandal.
Four Saints players including middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith have won their appeal case against then NFL, voiding their suspensions and allowing for immediate reinstatement.
Minutes after the news broke, outspoken linebacker Jonathan Vilma responded on Twitter.
The immediate reinstatement means players will be allowed to play in Sunday's game against Washington.
The ruling only affects the players and not the suspended coaches, Sean Payton, Joe Vitt and Gregg Williams.
This story will be updated as new information becomes available.
