ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA) -- Days before training camp 9NEWS NOW found Redskins players shooting a commercial for the Army. The buzz among NFL players is how will Michael Vick handle his comeback.

Redskins running back Rock Cartwright says, "I think he has a lot to prove and show people he still is one of the best quarterbacks and it shows people he deserves a second chance."

Vick is allowed to participate in preseason practices, workouts, meetings and play in the final two preseason games. It's possible he could play as early as October in regular season. But it all hinges on a team that's willing to sign him, some have already said they're not interested in the 29 year old quarterback.

Who ever takes a chance on Michael Vick will also have to tackle how he will affect the image of its franchise.

Says Cartwright, "It's good and bad. The team has to accept him and they have to remember there's one common goal and that's to win football games and if you have Michael Vick he'll win you some games."

Redskins' Defensive End Renaldo Wynn says "He lost two years of his life and football. It's a good thing Roger Goodell reinstated him."

WUSA9 asked these two players what their reaction would be IF Michael Vick would ever become a Redskins player."

Cartwright was quick to say, "I'm happy with who we got. I'm happy with Jason Campbell I don't make decisions I just play."

Wynn on the other hand says, "I would welcome him." Wynn goes on to say Vick will bounce back but he says Vick will have to build trust from the team, coaches and fans. He says that's key.
