Goodell Statement On Young Citation

Staff Report July 29, 2010

NFL Commisioner Roger Goodell confirmed Titans quarterback Vince Young will not face suspension from the league office after his role in an incident at a Dallas night club on June 13 required police action.

Goodell spoke with reporters at a meeting of the Green Bay Packers shareholders on Thursday. He confirmed reports that he had spoken with Young about the incident.

"And at this stage, based on the facts that we have, I see no reason for any kind of disciplinary action," Goodell said. "I did have a good conversation with Vince, however, about his responsibility as an NFL player. He needs to avoid putting himself in that kind of position."

Following the incident, Dallas police cited Young with a misdemeanor assault charge. Young apologized for his role in the incident at a Titans practice on June 14.
