UNDATED (AP) -- ESPN is reporting that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick wasn't carrying marijuana when stopped by security last week at Miami International Airport.
Citing anonymous NFL sources, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Vick wasn't carrying marijuana or any other illegal substance. The ESPN report also cited an anonymous Falcons source, who said the team expects to hear something formal today.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wouldn't comment on the report. He told The Associated Press the league had received no information on the issue. Falcons team spokesman Reggie Roberts told the AP the team had not heard anything and did not know the origin of the ESPN report. Vick did not return a call.
Last Wednesday, Vick reluctantly surrendered a water bottle to security at the Miami airport. He was not arrested and was allowed to board an AirTran flight to Atlanta. The bottle was found to have a compartment that the police report said contained "a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana."
Miami police have said it could take weeks to decide whether to file charges.
