Vick Getting Closer to Reinstatement Moving to Halfway House 'Any Day Now'

Lawyers for Michael Vick the Atlanta Falcons QB who has been in prison for his involvement in a dog fighting conspiracy said that Vick will be released to a halfway house "any day now" to serve the remainder of his sentence.

"He's in the process of being released to the halfway house," attorney Paul Campsen told Judge Frank Santoro, who is presiding over Vick's Chapter 11 bankrupcy case, "We expect it to occur any day."

But the U.S. Bureau of Prisons has not given Vick's attorneys a specific date for the move, which Campsen said could occur with only "a day or so" notice.

"We believe he is ultimately going to be reinstated by the NFL," said another Vick bankruptcy attorney, Michael Blumenthal.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has not said whether he will lift Vick's suspension after his release. Vick once was the league's highest-paid player before his indictment and guilty plea left both his finances and his reputation in tatters. He filed for bankruptcy protection in July, claiming assets of $16 million and liabilities of $20.4 million.
