ORLANDO, Fla. -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said today that Georgia investigators no longer wanting a DNA sample from Ben Roethlisberger changes nothing in his approach to the Steelers quarterback.

"We're following it," Goodell said this morning during a press conference at the conclusion of the league meetings here.

"It's not something I've put aside. I'm focusing on it."

Goodell said on Monday, in regards to two separate sexual assault claims against Roethlisberger, that "we take the issue very seriously. We are concerned that Ben continues to put himself in this position."

Goodell said he will meet with Roethlisberger at the "appropriate time."
