NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday he has decided not to suspend Titans quarterback Vince Young over a tussle at a Dallas strip club in June.
Goodell said he met with Young earlier this week.
"And at this stage, based on the facts that we have, I see no reason for any kind of disciplinary action. 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," Goodell said.
Young was given a misdemeanor assault citation after a fight in June that was caught on surveillance video.
BENGALS: A few thousand fans showed up for Terrell Owens ' first practice with Cincinnati, which signed him to a one-year deal on Thursday evening, then got a glimpse of what the 36-year-old receiver has left.
"He hasn't slowed down," said quarterback Carson Palmer , who worked out with Owens in California this month. "He's a guy that's kind of ageless and he's still got a lot left in the tank."
REDSKINS: Albert Haynesworth failed his conditioning test and was forced to sit out the first practice of Washington's training camp, the latest twist in a test of wills between the two-time All-Pro defensive lineman and coach Mike Shanahan .
STEELERS: Now that Pittsburgh has Ben Roethlisberger back, at least for training camp, it has yet another problem with the quarterback whose off-season missteps repeatedly overshadow all that he accomplishes as a player.
What do it do with him?
Once the Steelers report to training camp today, does Roethlisberger run with the starters, despite his suspension that will last at least four games? Or do they drastically cut his time with the regulars so that Byron Leftwich will be better prepared to run the offense when the season begins, since Roethlisberger can't play until mid-October at the earliest?
- Pittsburgh reached terms with five-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Flozell Adams on a two-year contract.
BRONCOS: Tim Tebow missed some practices but none that counted before agreeing to a contract with Denver.
The two-time national champion from Florida and 25th pick in the NFL Draft missed the first three workouts for rookies and selected veterans while his agent, Jimmy Sexton , and general manager Brian Xanders hammered out a deal. It's worth $11.25 million over five years with $8.7 million of that guaranteed.
SAINTS: Safety Darren Sharper , linebacker Clint Ingram and receivers Marques Colston and Robert Meachem will start training camp on New Orleans' physically unable to perform list.
General manager Mickey Loomis says all four players are expected to come off list before the first preseason game Aug. 12.
PANTHERS: If Jimmy Clausen indeed becomes Carolina's franchise quarterback, it'll be after overcoming a humble beginning to his professional career.
Three months after his draft weekend snub, Clausen fumbled a couple of snaps early in his first workout of training camp before laboring in the intense heat in his new role: third-stringer.
BILLS: Trent Edwards has emerged as the leading contender in Buffalo's quarterback competition as the team opened training camp.
