Vick's Playing Status Still On Hold
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello sayid the league has yet to complete its investigation of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, and, reports to the contrary, is not ready to announce a suspension. Vick has been charged with operating a dogfighting ring on his Virginia property. A jury trial is scheduled to begin November 26th. Commissioner Roger Goodell barred Vick from reporting to training camp last month while the investigation continued. He could use the NFL's personal conduct policy to suspend Vick for the 2007 season.Copyright 2007 by WSBTV.com. The Associated Press contributed to this report. All rights reserved.
