The Facts: Judge Robert Magnuson decided on Friday to temporarily prevent the NFL from suspending five NFL players who took a supplement that, unbeknownst to them, had been spiked with a banned substance. Per the Associated Press, Judge Magnuson decided after several hours of oral argument in two pending lawsuits challenging the suspensions that he needs more time to assess the matter.
Diehards Line:As a result, Vikings DTs Kevin and Pat Williams and Saints RB Deuce McAllister and Will Smith will be available on Sunday. Saints DE Charles Grant previously was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Thus, the suspension would not have affected his ability to play. Stay tuned. Things could change. It might also be worth noting that at least in McAllister's case, the Saints have probably already installed a game plan assuming he wouldn't be available.
