Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey still in holding pattern

[DKphin]

Dolphins center Mike Pouncey is in a state of football limbo — able to work out with his team, but unsure what, if any, punishment awaits him.

Pouncey, the only player admonished by NFL investigator Ted Wells still with the Dolphins, apparently has not yet undergone the mental health evaluation that the NFL said he must before suiting up for the Dolphins.
However, Pouncey and former teammate John Jerry — now with the Giants — “are on the field and they can be active right now,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday. Richie Incognito, the other Dolphin lineman whom Ted Wells said harassed Jonathan Martin, has not signed with another team and remains a free agent.
“I did indicate that they would go through evaluations – and they will,” Goodell said. “But we are not going to get into announcements on that. Those are confidential matters and they will be handled appropriately.”

So they will go through the evaluations at some point between now and "suiting up". If the evaluation turns up some DSM V Disorder , they will have him get "help". I don't think it will stop him from playing. In fact being classified with a condition may actually work out better for Pouncey because he'll be deemed ill and not fully accountable for his actions.
