    Steve12 The night is dark and full of terrors

    Sal Paolantonio by way of Dan Graziano ESPN reports that citing league sources, the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback "desperately wants to get back on the practice field as soon as possible -- that means Wednesday morning, when (offensive coordinator) Marty Mornhinweg installs the game plan against the Giants, whose dizzying array of blitz packages gave Vick fits last season. Vick wanted to return to the game on Sunday night, but the team trainers took his helmet and shoulder pads from him." But the Eagles don't want to rush Vick through the process required by the league to allow a player to return from a concussion. Vick has to pass all of his concussion tests, take an MRI and see the independent neurologist who has to approve his return -- a process that normally takes 3-5 days. The Eagles don't want to bring Vick back too soon and risk a recurrence of symptoms that would cost him practice time later in the week.
