Michael Vick will not be punished by the NFL for an incident at Vick's birthday party last month, which resulted in Quanis Phillips, a co-defendant in Vick's dog-fighting case, being shot in the leg.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, league spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed that the NFL had completed its investigation into the case and Vick would sidestep a suspension. "There is no change in [Vick's] playing status," Aiello said in an email.

Vick was was eventually ruled out as a suspect in Phillips' shooting. No charges were filed, despite police saying that they knew the identity of the person that pulled the trigger, because of "lack of cooperation from the victim, coupled with the reluctance of witnesses," Virginia police spokesman Adam Bernstein said in a statement on July 6.

Here's what's happening around the National Football League on Tuesday, July 12, 2010:

o. As questions continue to swirl around Michael Vick's future with the Eagles, the team could soon find itself in need of a backup QB behind new starter Kevin Kolb. One name that's come up recently is Troy Smith, the current second-stringer in Baltimore.

An Eagles source shot down that rumor to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, though.

Smith is only under contract through 2010, then set to be a free agent in 2011. He's started just three games -- all in his rookie season -- during three years with the Ravens and still hasn't thrown 100 career passes.

o. Shaun Rogers will be placed into a 12-month diversion program in Ohio after police found a loaded handgun in his carry-on bag at Cleveland's Hopkins Airport.

Rogers must complete a 10-hour weapons course, The Plain Dealer reported, as well as 40 hours of community service. Once he finishes both requirements, the charges against him will be dropped.

"I'm hopeful and confident that Shaun will complete the program successfully and that this will be expunged from his record,'' Rogers' attorney, Patrick D'Angelo, told the Plain-Dealer.

METCALF, Ga. -- This small country town, four miles from Florida's state line, is Ernie Sims' sanctuary. This is where Sims can relax and enjoy life at a slower pace with his new bride and their menagerie of beloved animals. Monday afternoon was one of those welcomed days.

"I am exhausted, but it's all worth it," Sims told FanHouse

Sims, the ninth overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft out of Florida State and one of the newest Philadelphia Eagles, enjoyed a whirlwind weekend in nearby Tallahassee, Fla. Sims zigzagged nonstop from Friday morning to Sunday night, fulfilling obligations for his popular and expanding The Ernie Sims Big HITS Foundation.
