Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who has been indicted on felony charges of sponsoring a dogfighting business, has been ordered by N.F.L. Commissioner Roger Goodell not to report to the Falcons’ training camp on Thursday while the league completes a review of his case.

The Falcons’ first practice is Thursday afternoon, about the same time that Vick is scheduled to be arraigned in Richmond, Va.

Vick will not lose his preseason pay during his absence from camp. Goodell also told the Falcons to withhold any team discipline for Vick until the N.F.L. review was completed. The Falcons may try to persuade Vick to take a leave of absence until his case is resolved.

“While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility as commissioner of the National Football League to determine whether your conduct, even if not criminal, nonetheless violated league policies, including the Personal Conduct Policy,” Goodell wrote to Vick yesterday.
