will not be punished by the NFL for an incident at Vick's birthday party last month, which resulted in Quanis Phillips, a co-defendant in Vick's dog-fighting case, being shot in the leg.According to the Philadelphia Daily News, league spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed that the NFL had completed its investigation into the case and Vick would sidestep a suspension. "There is no change in [Vick's] playing status," Aiello said in an email.
Vick was was eventually ruled out as a suspect in Phillips' shooting. No charges were filed, despite police saying that they knew the identity of the person that pulled the trigger, because of "lack of cooperation from the victim, coupled with the reluctance of witnesses," Virginia police spokesman Adam Bernstein said in a statement on July 6.
The Eagles recently denied reports that they were considering releasing Vick. He's slated to be the backup to Kevin Kolb as Philadelphia moves forward post-Donovan McNabb.
