Flowery Branch — The Atlanta Falcons issued a statement Tuesday night regarding the indictment of quarterback Michael Vick for his alleged role in a well-established dogfighting operation in Virginia.
"This situation has been troubling to many people, including our fans, during the last few months," read the statement issued by the team. "With today's news, our club and team will continue to be tested as Michael works through the legal process toward a conclusion.

"We are disappointed that one of our players – and therefore the Falcons – is being presented to the public in a negative way, and we apologize to our fans and the community for that," the statement continued.
"Obviously, we are disturbed by today's news from Virginia. However, we are prepared to deal with it, and we will do the right thing for our club as the legal process plays out. We have a season to prepare for and training camp opens next week. Our plan is to continue to do everything we can to support our players and coaches."
