The Facts:
The Eagles expect NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to issue a ruling on Vick's possible full re-instatement before Saturday's mandatory league-wide cutdown to the 53-man roster.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Eagles want an early ruling in order to put together their 53-man roster. If Goodell notifies the team that Vick is, for example, available to play no earlier than Week 3, the team may opt to put Vick on the roster exempt list, carrying only QBs Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb and A.J. Feeley. If Vick is on the exempt list, he cannot practice with the team until he's put back on the 53-man roster. So, putting Vick on the exempt list could retard his progress in the offense.
