Two Vick Co-Defendants To Enter Pleas

Virginia court records show that two co-defendants in a dogfighting case involving Michael Vick have scheduled plea agreements.

A hearing for Quannis Phillips and Pernell Peace was set for 9 a.m. Friday in the U.S. District Court in Richmond.

Another of Vick's original co-defendants, Tony Taylor, pleaded guilty on July 30 to his role in a dogfighting conspiracy he says was financed almost entirely by the Atlanta Falcons quarterback.

Vick runs the risk of having to return $28.2 million in signing bonus money, should he be suspended for the year by the NFL.

Yahoo Sports reported Sunday night that Commissioner Roger Goodell could suspend Vick as early as this week for violating the league's personal conduct code.

The NFL disputed the story and said that no decision has been made. Goodell said he is awaiting a report from outside legal counsel before making any decisions.
