NFL 'Beginning to Focus' on Vick Evaluation
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told the Associated Press that the league is "beginning to focus" on the evaluation that will determine whether quarterback Michael Vick will be reinstated.
Vick is on indefinite suspension by the NFL as he completes a 23-month federal sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation in Virginia. He is on home confinement in Hampton, Va., after serving most of his sentence in federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan.
Goodell has said on several occasions that Vick must demonstrate genuine remorse to be reinstated.
According to the AP, Goodell declined to say whether he's seeing any signs of that.
"No, we're beginning to focus on evaluating the situation," Goodell told the AP. "I haven't spoken to him."
Goodell indicated that the ruling will be made "in due time," according to the AP, and also said: "I haven't given a timeline, other than after he's concluded his legal" case.
Vick is scheduled to be released from home confinement on July 20.
He is a free agent after being released by the Atlanta Falcons.
