FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. - The NFL has rescinded the $5,000 fine on Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for violating its uniform dress code last month.<br>
<br>
Vick was fined because his white oversocks were rolled down, exposing red undersocks from ankle to knee against New Orleans on Oct. 27. NFL guidelines say the exterior sock must be white at least to the mid-lower leg.<br>
<br>
The league gave Vick a warning Wednesday. Such fines are common for uniform violations, ranging from untucked jerseys to unlicensed apparel.<br>
<br>
The league also decided to return its $2,500 fine of Vick for throwing a ball into the stands against New Orleans after he scored a touchdown and reduced that to a warning.<br>
<br>
Vick had appealed both fines after the league disciplined him last week.<br>
