He's spending some of his time away from football at Walter Reed helping some wounded veterans with their rehab.

Vitt said he plans to show up with "nothing but a toothbrush" - well, that and his 34 years of NFL coaching experience.
He has ideas of helping the veterans with their rehab while also teaching them about what it's like to prepare for a typical NFL game week, complete with all the film cut-ups and game-planning sessions. And he may bring in some coaching colleagues for help along the way.
But Vitt said he'll adjust on the fly and do whatever they need from him.
"I think it's going to take me three or four days to really get the lay of the land, see what I can do to help. Then once I get into the groove, I may stay up there 'til the better part of the suspension is over," said Vitt, who is scheduled to return to the Saints after their Oct. 21 game at Tampa Bay.
"I'm 'in,'" Vitt added. "Our players know what that means. If you're in, you're in. I'm not just going to dip my toe in the water. But I'm nervous as hell. I don't know what to expect."
