APDuring 30 minutes or so when the switch on the Pittsburgh CBS affiliate had been flipped by the good folks at Time Warner from Steelers-Eagles to infomercials, I missed a fairly important play.
Eagles quarterback Mike Vick, who has vowed to do everything he can to stay healthy this season, banged his throwing hand off a helmet after throwing a pass early in the second quarter.
Vick left the game at that point, capping a pair of three-and-out drives.
UPDATE 9:26 p.m. ET: The Eagles have announced that X-rays on Vick’s left thumb were negative.
Channel Finder
And so it begins….another season of consistent injuries for Vick. Dude is just too fragile.
Haha
That was fast
and thats why i wont draft him on my fantasy team.
The dynasty ends before it began brother. Eagles forever Ringless.
Where’s Kevin Kolb when you need him. Oh wait.
Doggonit.
Yea let lame comments begin lol!!!
That didn’t take long.
china doll dynasty
I know im just an angry eagles fan.. But i would trade vick for a pack of gum right now
Awe the dog murderer got hurt…thats a shame
I swear this guy can’t fall asleep without landing the wrong way
what’s up with the gatorade cup full of ice to ice his thumb. i’d ice my 100 million dollar qbs’ hand properly. atleast he looked really good prior to the injury. oh wait.
ps nice visor desean-jackass
He has serious durability issues…..also no legitimate backup…..wake TF up Reid
The dynasty begins!
And football season has begun!
Dream Team!
My Rottweiler and I just shotgunned a beer
Some things never change.
I gave him 15 minutes without an injury.
Hope they amputate it.
LOL…
more like vagynasty …..

X-Ray negative he is fine!!!!

Is this a trick question? No team needs Kevin Kolb
Just as long as he saves his knees for Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan!
Vick is a loser.
Only interested in his hilites
Kafka is HORRIBLE
ok haters, enough of that. X-rays negative. HAAAAA!
Hater gone hate!!
Just curious, to those of you feeling vindicated now that we know the x-rays are negative, aren’t you at least a little concerned that maybe he’s just soft?
Vick is not fragile at all, It’s his playing style that puts him in vulnerable spots sometimes
I hope he is ok… but what a f’ing joke.
He’s fine. Nothing to see here
He’ll just hurt himself again the next series he plays
Poor Victoria. This really could be Bad Newz. His ability to stay on the field has really gone to the dawgz.
Mike, please edit this story.
There are no “good people” at Time Warner Cable.
Thanks!
So it is funny if Vick gets hurt but if it was your teams QB it would be a tragic ?Injuries are a serious thing in the NFL and should not be anything to laugh at.
There’s always next year Sheagles fans…GMEN: 4 Super Bowls…Sheagles: None.
X-rays negative true…but nothing to see? Not true. The guy bangs his hand on helmets often. So negative this time, but next time will come.
As for the guy getting on the Eagles for not having a reliable backup….. More teams don’t even have a reliable starter, than teams that have a reliable backup.
What, no “Karma” comments? Okay, here I go then….KARMA!
some of you guys are lame, the dog stuff is old plus none of you care about pitbulls, anyways it was a freak accident, more should be focused on ryan matthews injury .
p.s. the biggest animal killer in the country is the humane society………
To why don’t you read previous comments before you spout humorless drivel
My Rottweiler and I chugged a beer– u chuckled
ctiggs- you’re a worthless human being.
We love Vick here in Atlanta. And they never show Eagles games, but its so ridiculous that every time we see news about Vick or the Eagles it’s that he’s hurt.
Vick and his snivelling apologists are losers.
Remember when they covered Vick’s hand with a cast so you couldn’t see how injured it wasn’t?
negative means nothing broken. Still gonna swell up like a mofo and everybody knows..Vick aint playing hurt.
Ive never seen anyone more injury prone than Vick…eagles will never be contenders with him as RB..errrr QB…..hes just not a winner….hes a great athlete but he will always be inconsistent or injured and as soon as the eagles realize it then the sooner they can move on and try to find a QB that will make em a true contender again….
YALL GET OFF OUR SACK I BET ALL THESE BANWAGON FANS IF THEY TEAM HAD VICK THEY WOULDNT BE SAYING ALL THESE NONSENCE LOL ENOUGHT SAID LMAO
Howls of derisive laughter.
Vick is the poor man’s Cam Newton.
It’s hard to believe many are calling this a Super Bowl contender. There QB can’t even stay healthy for a preseason game.
I wonder if this injury will “dog” him for the whole season.
Because everybody else in the world not named Michael Vick would be perfectly fine after throwing their hand into somebodys helmet??
YALL GET OFF OUR SACK I BET ALL THESE BANWAGON FANS IF THEY TEAM HAD VICK THEY WOULDNT BE SAYING ALL THESE NONSENCE LOL ENOUGHT SAID LMAO
———————————————
aw yes, cuz if we had him we would be reminding the haters of all the championships and amazing seasons hes had….
“There’s always next year Sheagles fans…GMEN: 4 Super Bowls…Sheagles: None.”
True but the Eagles own your sorry boys in blue what are they 7-1 in their last eight games against Sheli?
The Eagles will continue the ownage this year my only regret is that they won’t be able to embarrass your team in your home opener. After all the Eagles have been beating the Giants on their turf every time since 2007. Last year even Vince Young was too much for your team to handle.
bark!

ctiggs- you’re a worthless human being.
lol I’m worthless enough to be fighting for your freedom.
Nobody is commenting on his stats before he left the game. 3 of 4 complete for 6 yards? Yes, he is a qb that I would want on a fantasy team.
x rays negative, but somehow I know after every fumble he is going to be flexing that left hand all year long.
“The Eagles have announced that X-rays on Vick’s left thumb were negative.”
That’s great news for Vick fans and bad news for Eagles fans.
Ha
Vick is a PUNK…. will be back in jail before the end of the season…..
somewhere Donovan McNabb is starting to practice throwing passes in his back yard again…drilling them into the ground murmuring over and over to himself “this time they’ll see…this time they’ll see.”
Vick is listed at 6′,0″, but in real life he’s about 5’10″, he will continue to hit his hand on helmets when throwing from the pocket. He’s not big Ben, Cam, or Josh Freeman. His game is moving around and making plays. Eagles thought by keeping him in the pocket they could eliminate injuries -wrong.
Just like they were wrong that offensive line coaches make the best defensive coordinators.
I don’t know what’s more ridiculous, the constantly perpetuated idea that Philadelphia sports fans are somehow worse than those elsewhere, or the blind eye to fans from other cities frothing at the mouth over any potential setbacks for our teams.
Get a grip folks.

============================
Well put. The real losers are the ones making dog fighting comments after 3 years of Vick being a model citizen. The same goes for those posting “Karma” or actually rooting for an injury. As for Philly fans, we’d never do either…especially nowadays.
Gonna be a great season of incomplete passes and fumbles then Vick lookin at his hand. Paper Dynasty
What do people get in domestic disputes right before posting on here or something? I assume these are all Eagles fans making this horrible comments! I hate the guy, but have some class. He did his time, he owes nothing more to society for his crimes. I don’t understand the NFL media having a love-fest when he got out of prison. But I don’t understand harassing someone endlessly either. Seems like if he hurt his hand in any way in a preseason game that they wouldn’t want him playing anymore until it was x-ray’d. Little bit of an over-reaction in the comments here.
For all you Eagles fans who hate Vick…what did you think you were getting when you cozied up to him 2 years ago? He’s missed 33 games in 9 seasons. And he’s missed at least 1 game in 8 of those 9 seasons. Before becoming an Eagle he missed 22 games in 6 seasons or 3.67 games per season. After becoming an Eagle he missed 11 games in 3 seasons or 3.67 games per season. Uncanny isn’t it! He misses, on average, exactly as many games per season now as he always has. THat means that anyone signing him would’ve known this before doing so. Not to mention that you were signing a convicted felon that everyone would turn on if he did anything short of a SUper Bowl victory. And if you say it’s his style, your wrong. He avg’d 2.0 rushes per game in 2009, and missed 4 games. He avd’g 8.3 rushes per game in 2010 and missed 4 games again. It’s his body size. He’s only 6′ and listed as 215 lbs, but is thought to be closer to 205. Here’s another depressing stat for you…only once in his career (2010) has his passing accuracy been above 60%.
