Probation officers have visited suspended NFL star Michael Vick's Virginia home to outfit him with an electronic monitoring device.

Vick arrived Thursday morning after a 28-hour drive from federal prison in Kansas to start two months of home confinement.

Within 90 minutes, two probation officers arrived to fit him with the monitor and walk with him around the backyard to make sure it worked.

Virginia-based attorney Larry Woodward says the process went well. He says Vick is technically a furloughed federal inmate and can't speak to the media without Bureau of Prisons permission. Woodward says the process to get permission is under way.

Vick spent 19 months in federal prison for financing a dogfighting operation and is finishing his sentence at home.
