Vick missing from Eagles practice

Brian Westbrook has returned to practice, but the Eagles were missing one notable member from their offense Wednesday: Ed Block Courage Award winner Michael Vick.

Vick was the only Eagle missing from Wednesday’s session, which is rather remarkable this late in the season.  Everyone else had full participation, including wide receiver Jeremy Maclin.

Philadelphia hosts Denver Sunday in one of the most intriguing matchups on a weekend brimming with playoff ramifications. 

A lot of league observers seem to have given up on Denver, but the same was true before they pounded the Giants on Thanksgiving.  The Broncos are 2-1 against the NFC East, with the loss coming in Washington when Kyle Orton was hurt.

    He was probably out late celebrating his excitement over winning such an important award.
    *sarcasm off

    My Boy Vick! He is pissing on all His PETA Haters…proving that man can redeem himself from the past……
    VICK THE WORLD LOVES YOU!!!!! “One human life is worth more then a billion Dogs!”

    Yeah, I don’t feel too good about this one. Hopefully they get a W, stay healthy and get ready for Vox’s boys.

    Nothing to see here folks…no real reporting, investigating, or questioning to find out WHY Vick was missing from practice…Well done PFT, this is not News or a Rumor.

    He’s probably busy saving the chil’ren. Courage IS his name you know.

    How can you possbile call Vick “notable member” of the Eagles…please.

  7. Gallagher says: Dec 23, 2009 3:47 PM

    Maybe he just didnt want to go, like you opined for Cedric Benson about not going to Chris Henry’s funeral. Come on Florio, Im sure you have some gossip column pesimistic spin to put on this.
    I used to be a big fan of your opinions, and looked forward to reading the punchline of your jokes, but the stuff you have put in recently has been a real dissappointment Mike. My opinion of you has changed from funny dorky lawyer, to cold pesimistic corporate lackey, not much better than an ESPN chroney

    Because he had a deep thigh bruise from the game on Sunday. He left the game after his 2nd or 3rd snap taken.

    He is probably too scared to leave his home now that he knows the almighty and heavily respected PETA did not condone him winning the Ed Block award.

  11. chapnasty says: Dec 23, 2009 3:55 PM

    @ Phillyman
    The world does not love this scumbag, you do. And being a Phily fan you will hate him once he leaves that craphole of a place you call Philly.

  12. Bwa Ha Ha says: Dec 23, 2009 4:00 PM

    Damn Sam, your smear on the Eagles fans is missing too!!!
    I blame Obama

  13. chunky soupy sales says: Dec 23, 2009 4:03 PM

    “My Boy Vick! ”
    I can only IMAGINE the #### you talked about Vick when he played for the Falcons. Especially when the dogfighting stuff started coming out and the airport incidents. I have the feeling it wasn’t ” My boy Vick! redemption!” type stuff.

  14. jkorn1818 says: Dec 23, 2009 4:04 PM

    He’s busy helping children and accepting lifetime achievement awards. Don’t look for him the rest of the week, he’ll be working closely with his elf’s putting the finishing touches on toys at his factory.

    ya it pretty easy to be healthy at the end of the season when alot of your players didnt play during the season

  16. Stradivarius says: Dec 23, 2009 4:10 PM

    He was competing with AI to see who could sound more like a burnout…

  17. Kevin from Philly says: Dec 23, 2009 4:16 PM

    To PFT nation (even Vox and Hap):
    Taking off from work, probably until after New Years. Hope you all have a great holiday and best wishes for 2010.
    With any luck, The Birds will be NFC East champs and the Cowboys will be in Cabo by the time I sign on again.

  18. Lombardi 6 says: Dec 23, 2009 4:16 PM

    He was accepting his Ed Block Illiterate Dog Murderer Award..

  19. chunky soupy sales says: Dec 23, 2009 4:31 PM

    The Birds will be NFC East champs and the Cowboys will be in Cabo or else I won’t sign in again”
    Fixed.

  20. Tom Pafford says: Dec 23, 2009 4:46 PM

    He is a bona fide AH

  21. bigrig says: Dec 23, 2009 4:55 PM

    Wow Kevinfromphilly, way to show some class.
    Best of wishes to your family, but we still have to deal with the Redskins before worrying about the Eagles or anything beyond.
    When it’s all said and done, we are all on the same team.

  22. Obeah says: Dec 23, 2009 4:57 PM

    MIKE VICK WHO!!

  23. Joe in Toronto, Canada says: Dec 23, 2009 5:22 PM

    Better check the police blotters, Mike.

  24. BigEasy33 says: Dec 23, 2009 5:22 PM

    Back up QB absent from practice…who cares…he’s probably out saving dogs in the Greater Philly area….then again probably not!!!

  25. BirdWeisErrr says: Dec 23, 2009 5:45 PM

    He is refusing to play until he is 100% healthy.

  26. Bigbluefan says: Dec 23, 2009 5:55 PM

    with any luck he is dead in a ditch where he belongs
    Phillyman your a typical ahole Filthy Fan
    Only a chesse steak eating rowhouse living Filthy fan could say the world loves vick
    Vick is Scum he is not worth the life of one dog
    Lets see how much you love him next year when he is in DC and beating the egurls back to the slums they craweled out of
    And Yeah you beat us twice this year but we still have 3 things you will never have Trophys

  27. THEpackersAREwhere? says: Dec 23, 2009 6:43 PM

    This story would be better if under the headline read “Found Dead”. I have to say this, my feelings towards him have remained unchanged from before the dawg fighting to after. Always hated the guy.

  28. curtisclontz says: Dec 23, 2009 7:33 PM

    At least they aren’t smashing him with snowballs like these fans at the game the other day!

    Apparently the “courage award” was not related to his play on the field.
    Missing practice over a bruise? Seriously?

    He should of been kicked out of the league for life and should of been locked up alot longer than two years. The guy is nothing but a piece of garbage. I would have liked to see him tied up and let a pack of dogs have their way with him. What that douche bag did to those dogs was inhuman and unforgivable.
    BigBlueFan I agree with you 100 percent.

    I am so sick and tried of hearing about poor poor Vick this shit head went broke when he had a hundred million dollars he owes the falcons he owes the word second chance would love to have him in my yard with my Pit and Dobie then we would see if he could still scramble
    The man is a fellon and has no right to vote to play football or anything else he gave up those rights by being a low life thug
