Michael Vick, who has missed the last two NFL seasons after pleading guilty to his role in illegal dogfighting, was conditionally reinstated by commissioner Roger Goodell Monday.
Vick, a free agent, will be permitted to sign immediately, participate in training camp and the final two preseason games, but Goodell won't consider him for full reinstatement to play in regular season games until the sixth week of the season. Once the regular season starts, Vick can participate in all team activities other than the games until Goodell's review.
Former Colts coach Tony Dungy, who visited with Vick while he was in prison, has agreed to continue working with Vick as an advisor and mentor.
