Eagles QB Michael Vick Is Out For The Rest Of Preseason

    The Associated Press reports X-rays on Vick's ribs at the stadium were negative, and an MRI and CT scan on Tuesday revealed he has no broken bones or fractured cartilage. Vick has a contusion of his ribs and of the soft tissue surrounding it, he also needed X-rays on his thumb, and those tests were also negative. It is likely Vick won't take another snap until the Eagles open the regular season at Cleveland on Sept. 9. "I'm just going to play it by ear," coach Andy Reid said after the victory over the Patriots. "I'm not going to say anything about where we're at with that right now." Considering Vick has been injury prone -- he missed three games because of rib injuries in each of the past two seasons -- it seems risky to play him in the last two preseason games. The Eagles visit the Browns this Friday and host the New York Jets on Aug. 30.

    As much as i like Vick I'm tired of his damn injuries while some of them are not his fault the majority are. Just freaking throw the ball away!!!!

    And for the record i think Big Red got a nice QB in Foles

    i was on record as wanting the eagles to draft ryan tannenhill but certainly not in the 1st round. i think miami is going do well with him ... that said i can't argue with what the eagles did in the draft and two guys IMO are going to prove to be big steals - foles and boykins

    I have to agree on Foles and Boykin being steals in the draft this year but overall i am really happy with this years draft. if you think about it they got solid players at every position (Except safety) that will make the the roster including many that will be impact players this year

    Again, on paper we're one of the best teams in the NFC IMO but as the Birds have proven year in and year out, paper is only good for wiping your butt with.

    With the way Foles is playing Vick might start worrying about more than just his health.

    The kids sharp. Good feet. Great arm. So far smart. I hate the fact that there's ALWAYS a QB controversy in Philly. Vick should shred the Browns week 1. This will be an interesting season.
