PLAYER NEWS
Vick, who was slated to earn $16 million next season, has agreed to a restructured deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. The quarterback, who was injured and inconsistent last season, eventually giving way to rookie Nick Foles, now has a three-year contract, and will compete with Foles to see who runs new coach Chip Kelly's offense this season.|||||||
Vick, who returned to start the season finale against the New York Giants in December because Foles was injured, finished the season with 2,362 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Eagles finished 4-12 and in last place in the NFC East. Andy Reid was fired as coach the day after the season ended, and Kelly was hired last month. Vick, who will be 33 when next season begins, seems equipped to run Kelly's aggressive, up-tempo offense.
Vick will not practice Wednesday because of a concussion, and his status for Monday night's game is uncertain.|||||||
Vick, the four-time Pro Bowl quarterback, was injured against Dallas on Nov. 11 and missed last week's loss to Washington. Vick joined the team in a meeting and was on the sideline for a morning walkthrough.
Vick will start Sunday when the Philadelphia Eagles (4-11) close out their season against the New York Giants (8-7). It's fitting Vick will play possibly his last game for the Eagles at the Meadowlands.|||||||
Eagles rookie quarterback Nick Foles has a broken right hand. Vick hasn't played since suffering a concussion during a loss to the Cowboys on Nov. 11.
Vick has left the game against Dallas with an eye injury and is being evaluated for a concussion. There is no immediate word on his return Sunday.|||||||
Vick threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Riley Cooper in the first quarter. He had 2,095 yards passing, 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions entering the game.
Vick threw a 77-yard touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson in the third quarter, but that was about the only highlight for the visiting team in Monday's 28-13 loss to New Orleans.|||||||
The elusive quarterback matched his career high for sacks - he also went down seven times when playing for the Atlanta Falcons against the New York Giants on Oct. 15, 2006.
