NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has decided to reinstate Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams after a suspension that lasted 18 months because of Williams' violation of the league's substance abuse policy, sources told ESPN.

The Dolphins have been notified of the commissioner's decision. It is unknown if the team will welcome him back but it is expected they will have a two-week roster exemption to make that decision.

Williams met last week with league administrators who had raised concerns even though doctors at a Boston-area treament center where Williams spent a good portion of four months were very supportive for his reinstatement, sources said.

The administrators of the substance abuse policy were satisfied with Williams' response to their concerns, sources said, clearing the path for Goodell to reinstate him.

Williams also had written Goodell a personal letter of appeal that accompanied the medical data regarding his treatment since he had a positive test in April, which extended his one-year suspension.

Why not? Ricky was suspended for his propensity of doing the chronic...I think bong jokes are definitely appropriate.

If the Dolphins actually give him a roster spot and immediately start him, their winless season is in serious jeopardy.

If the Dolphins actually give him a roster spot and immediately start him, Florida's supply of Doritos is in serious jeopardy.

I hope he gets cut and signs with the Texans. It will give them some much needed street rep.

Well, he did get away with smoking all that pot at UT.

I could be a good fit.

That was the point...he got busted for weed and now he's back, hence the bong reference.

I have no problem with people smoking weed, but if you are a pro football players and you are making millions of dollars and you know they are testing for weed and flunk 4 drug tests anyway....you have earned a couple of bong jokes tossed your way.

He should have used the "whizzinator." I would link a pic but that thing looks real.

Can't hurt our season. BTW nice P.R. move Cam.

at this point who gives a shit, we are winless, starting a rookie QB, why not throw in a pot smoking RB.

Sounds like the football version of Major League.
