Vick has been under home confinement in nearby Hampton for the past two months in completing the sentence he received in 2007. He is on three years of probation and has a three-year suspended sentence on state dogfight charges.

He has to apply to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to seek reinstatement to the NFL.

"The review of his status is ongoing," an statement from the NFL said Monday, indicating there was no timetable to consider allowing Vick back into the league for broncos jersey.

NFL training camps will begin later this month. As a free agent since he was dropped last month by the Falcons, Vick would like to see if a team would give him a chance, although it is likely to be in a reserve role initially. And currently he has been working in construction and with youth clubs after being allowed out of prison and into a halfway house program.
