It should come as no surprise that the Eagles won’t publicly rule out Michael Vick for Week Three following his concussion on Sunday night.
Even if the team knew Vick was going to miss the next Eagles game, it wouldn’t help them to tell the media on Monday. They want the Giants to prepare for Vick.
Team trainer Rick Burkholder started off coach Andy Reid’s press conference on Monday. Burkholder said Vick was just “a little bit off” in concussion tests. Vick told teammates and the coaching staff he was “fine” last night and appears to be recovering quickly.
The protocol is to let Vick rest on Monday, then let him take tests during the week. Burkholder wouldn’t give Vick a timetable.
“That’s not worth guessing, that’s what tests are for,” Burkholder said.
The team will almost certainly be without defensive end Juqua Parker. Reid announced that Parker suffered a high ankle sprain.
