Flowery Branch -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to make a decision on the future of federally indicted Falcons' quarterback Michael Vick in a few weeks, however, he is waiting for a report from investigator Eric Holder before rendering a verdict, according to a league spokesman.

No timetable has been set for Goodell's decision, NFL vice president of public relations Greg Aiello said.

"No decision's been made," Aiello said. "The commissioner has already said he'll get to it as soon as possible."

Tailback Warrick Dunn, who spoke to Vick recently, said Falcons players are already of the mindset that they'll have to play without him.

"What it is right now, we have to move forward," Dunn said. "I don't think anyone right now, on this team is hoping that Mike comes back. If he comes back, that's great. Right now we're more to the point that the guys that are here, we're trying to get better with those guys and move on down the road. Mike is going to be missed and he has been missed but at the same time, you have to go on."

Dunn later called the AJC to clarify his remark. "I don't think that anyone right now is hoping the Mike doesn't come back."

Goodell has barred Vick, with pay, from being with the team pending the outcome of the investigation.

Should Holder's report lead Goodell to determine Vick violated the NFL's player conduct policy, he could issue a suspension. Holder's report also could show the Vick was not in violation of the policy and that no league-ordered suspension or other discipline was warranted.

A high-ranking NFL team official said Goodell likely would meet with Vick and/or his legal representation before levying a suspension. Such a meeting has not taken place.

Vick has pleaded not guilty to the dogfighting charges.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank and president and general manager Rich McKay said they had enough information to lead them to draw up papers to suspend Vick for four games -- the maximum a team can suspend a player for disciplinary reasons. The league could suspend Vick for a year.

Blank and McKay also said there were discussions about cutting Vick.

Coach Bobby Petrino said Monday that he had not been told of any developments from the NFL regarding any imminent decision on Vick.

"I'm not aware of any recent updates on this situation," Petrino said Monday. "I'm not aware of anything new. To be honest, I'm not ready to respond to anything regarding Michael because I know nothing new.

"We've been proceeding as if -- we have to -- he's not going to be here and we're doing the best we can at that."
