Vick Will Start For Eagles After Bye

Jul 13, 2014 4:05 AM

Eagles coach Andy Reid has named Michael Vick the team's starting quarterback following their bye week. Philadelphia will return to the field against Indianapolis in Week 9. Kevin Kolb made his third straight start Sunday as the Eagles lost 37-19 to Tennessee. Vick has missed the team's last three games with a rib injury. "I've got some time to heal, some more time to get stronger. If they really needed me down the line, I probably could have [played]," Vick said. "If Kevin or Mike [Kafka] would have went down, I could have gotten through."

DeSean Jackson Hasn't Made Much Progress

Aug 20, 2014 9:32 AM

Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson hasn't made much progress since suffering a concussion in Week 6 against the Falcons. Jackson won't face the Titans on Sunday and is still sore in his neck and shoulder areas. "Really, it's more the place where DeSean took the hit that's more sore than the head," Reid said. "His mind's clear -- he hasn't passed the test yet but his mind's clear. He feels good in that area, but just the area on the right side where [Robinson] hit him there, so it's a bit sore. "And then kind of up through his back and neck area, just from the shock of the hit there." Jackson hasn't passed the first of several concussion exams he must clear before he can practice.

Titans To Prepare For Both Kolb And Vick

Jun 4, 2014 8:16 PM

Even though Kevin Kolb is the announced starter this week, the Titans will prepare defensively for Michael Vick as well. "It definitely creates some difficulties," nickel back Vincent Fuller said. "Kolb throws and he?s mobile in the pocket. He was named their starter because Andy Reid thought he had a good grasp of the system and he delivered the ball well. And then (Vick) ? you?ve seen the highlights of (Vick). Everyone knows what (Vick) can do."
