NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ordered the Atlanta Falcons' Michael Vick not to report to the team’s training camp pending the completion of a league review of his recent indictment by a federal grand jury
Goodell informed Vick that the review would be completed as soon as possible and that Vick’s full cooperation is expected.
“While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility as commissioner of the National Football League to determine whether your conduct, even if not criminal, nonetheless violated league policies, including the Personal Conduct Policy," Goodell wrote in a letter to Vick.
Vick will be paid during his excused absence from training camp and Goodell also prohibited the Falcons from dispensing any contemplated team discipline regarding the matter until the NFL review is complete.
Falcons owner Arthur Blank was expected to address the situation Tuesday before Goodell's announcement.

Good. As an owner of an 11 year old pitbull, I feel like a little bit of justice has been served. Dogs are like babies, dependent on us for their survival and for their homelife. That is why so many of us have such strong reactions to this. My poor little guy got wrapped up in barbed wire and thrown out of a car window eleven years ago. That is how I got the most big hearted animal. He has taught me so much - about love, hope, and trust. He thinks I am the most amazing person. Didn't have to do much to earn his love. After all of these years he still acts so grateful for food, affection, walks - stuff most dogs take for granted. He is my buddy, my pet-bull. I love him.
