Vicks stands alone as co-defs plead guilty

Two of Michael Vick's co-defendants entered guilty pleas in Virginia federal court this morning. Vick now faces a decision in the dog fighting charges against him.

Twenty-eight year-old Quanis Phillips and 35-year-old Purnell Peace entered their pleas in U-S District Court. They pleaded guilty to their involvement in a dog fighting operation, and illegal gambling across state lines.

The two join a third co-defendant who entered a guilty plea in late July.

For Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback now stands alone in facing charges. According to sources, federal prosecutors have told Vick that more serious charges are set to come down as part of a superseding indictment. Vick's lawyers have reportedly been working on a plea agreement for their client.

Michael Vick's trial is scheduled for November 26th. He's been banned by the NFL from participating with his Falcons' teammates in preparation for their season.
