BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Michael Vick said Monday that he cried following the shooting after his 30th birthday bash, but not because he had done anything wrong.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback said he cried because he had let people down by putting himself in situation he now knows he should have avoided.

However, through police investigations, probes by the NFL and his team, Vick never doubted he would report to the Eagles’ training camp on time.

On Monday, there he was.

At no point, Vick said, was he formally cleared by the league.

“I just always thought I was good to go,” he said. “I just woke up this morning planning on being here. Didn’t talk to anybody. The plan was for me to be here today, and I’m here.”
