WASHINGTON -- The NFL did not provide documents by a deadline set by members of Congress relating to its investigation of the Washington Football Team, according to a statement issued by the House Oversight and Reform Committee and confirmed by the league on Friday.

But an NFL spokesman said the league has responded to questions in the Committee's Oct. 21 letter to commissioner Roger Goodell.

"The NFL on Thursday submitted responses to the questions in the Committee's October 21 letter," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement. "As we have discussed with the Committee, we are in the process of identifying responsive documents while working through issues of privilege and anonymity promised to participants in the investigation.
