Michael Vick (7) is expected to seek reinstatement to the NFL. (Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)Michael Vick has met with NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith after the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback served 23 months in federal custody for a dogfighting conviction.
George Atallah, the union's assistant executive director for external affairs, says Vick and Smith met Tuesday.
Atallah gave no additional details.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has suspended Vick indefinitely, and said Tuesday that he'll decide whether to reinstate Vick "in the near future."
Goodell did not elaborate.
NFL training camps open for veterans next week.
The union's position has been that it will support Vick on a personal level until Goodell decides how to proceed, but Atallah said Smith will likely raise the issue with Goodell.
