Linebacker Scott Fujita's scheduled meeting in New York at the NFL office of commissioner Roger Goodell has been postponed.

NFL Network reported Fujita planned to participate in the meeting via video conference from the Browns' facility in Berea, Ohio. The NFL insisted the former Saints linebacker participate in a face-to-face meeting and will attempt to reschedule.

With Saints defensive coordinator Will Smith and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove meeting with Goodell on Tuesday, one day after linebacker Jonathan Vilma had his sitdown with Goodell, it's possible Fujita's reconsidered suspension could be ruled upon in a different timeframe than the other players involved.

The expedited review process was necessitated when a union Appeals Board, a process required under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, vacated suspensions Goodell handed down in March.
