Two of Michael Vick’s co-defendants pleaded guilty Friday to charges stemming from a dog fighting ring, leaving the Atlanta Falcons quarterback to face federal charges alone unless he to can strike a deal with prosecutors.
At the same federal courthouse where they pleaded not guilty last month, Purnell A. Peace, 35, of Virginia Beach, and Quanis L. Phillips, 28, of Atlanta, accepted one felony count each related to a dog fighting ring the government says was run from Vick’s property in Surry, Va.
Both defendants pledged to help the government’s case, signing statements that would be included at a possible trial of Vick, who faces three felony charges related to dog fighting. The charges could carry up to five years in prison and as much as a $250,000 fine if he is found guilty.
A lawyer for Vick, Lawrence H. Woodward, Jr., sat in the court room for both hearings, but declined to comment on whether his client would plead today. Court officials indicated this afternoon that there are no furthur hearings scheduled for Judge Hudson.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank says he expects a Vick plea deal tonight.

Looks like Vick would be doing a year or so in prison (probably less when it's said and done).
