Vick Suffers 2nd Injury in As Many Weeks:
The Philadelphia Eagles had one of the best offseasons in recent memory. They brought in six former Pro Bowlers and Michael Vick was poised to have a stand out season. That’s why they play the game. Vick was concussed last week against the Atlanta Falcons and this past Sunday, he suffered a fracture in his non-throwing hand. It’s unclear whether Vick will play next week. He blasted the referees after the game, saying he gets hit in the pocket all the time and the refs don’t call late hits on the quarterback. The New York Giants downed the Eagles, 29-16. Philadelphia stands at 1-2. It was the second consecutive week the team lost the game in the fourth quarter.
Mike Kafka filled in when Vick was out, but he’s not the solution right now. Vick still has the instinct to run, opening up to those hard hits. It’s still early and the Eagles aren’t buried yet, but Vick needs to stay healthy for the team to win. He’s not going to change how he plays, but maybe head coach Andy Reid can convince Vick otherwise. If he doesn’t, Vick’s season might end sooner rather than later.
