Conflicting Reports On Possible Suspension For Vick

Posted: 7:37 am EDT August 13, 2007Updated: 12:19 pm EDT August 13, 2007

There were conflicting reports Monday on whether the NFL plans to suspend Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for the season.

  • DISCUSS: Reports the NFL Plans To Suspend Vick
  • Writer Jason Cole reported on the web site Yahoo Sports that the league will announce a season-long suspension for Vick this week or next week.

    He cited two NFL sources in his report.

    But Skip Wood of USA Today reported that the NFL denied any decision has been made on Vick.

    Wood quoted NFL spokesman Greg Aiello in his story and said the league flatly denies NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has decided on a suspension.

    Vick will go on trial in November on federal charges connected to a dogfighting ring.

    The NFL has ordered him to stay away from the Falcons' training camp.

    There's no word on whether the league will allow Vick to rejoin the Falcons this season if he is found innocent of the charges against him.
