APThe Patriots are resting most of their starters on Monday night and the Eagles are probably wishing they made the same choice.
Michael Vick got pasted by Patriots linebacker Jermaine Cunningham on the first play of the Eagles’ second possession and was grimacing noticeably when he rose to his feet. He went back down to a knee after taking a few steps, bringing the Eagles medical staff to the field in a hurry. He left the field under his own power and stood next to Andy Reid on the Philly sideline briefly before heading to the locker room with what could be a rib injury.
Vick had a rib injury that cost him a few games last season and he’ll surely get a full battery of tests before the Eagles allow him to return to action.
Nick Foles is now running the Eagles offense, which means that neither starting quarterback is in the game. The Patriots, playing the first of three games in the next 10 days, are resting most of their starters including Tom Brady.
UPDATE: Lisa Salters of ESPN confirms that the Eagles are worried about a rib injury. Vick will get x-rays to determine the extent of the injury.

Mike Vick has no common sense. Rookie mistake inviting a hit like that.
He just doesn’t want to make the simple play.
Im actually a fan of vick but i gotta say hes been pretty soft this preseason…
Fragile Vick gets injured again.
Well looks like everyone in the NFC east is getting hurt
Can’t Vick go one game without hurting himself? They should wrap him in bubble wrap
Lets see…two games, two injuries….WTG Philly WTG….How’s that 100 mil taste?
First the head first slide and now this, this guy will never learn.
I swear, I’m starting to get so frustrated with how fragile Vick is. Two preseason games, and two injuries? I hate being debby downer here, but I’m starting to lose more and more confidence in a Vick-led Super Bowl.
I think im going to add Nick Foles either late in the fantasy draft oor in free agency because it appears Vick is still made of glass. I know nobody cares about my fantasy team, but it sounds like Foles could end up being Phillys guy at some point this year.
Oh boy Miss Vicky is one and done. Bad Newz for Eagles fans, Bad Newz. I will say she is getting really good at that “wince” face. Bless her heart.
..and in other news, the sun rises in the east.
Good job Vick. Batting .1000 in injuries this season.
It was typical Vick and it was his own fault. Yes the linebacker came through almost clean but after the playaction Vick was staring right at McCoy as he went out in the flat. There was noone within 10 yards of McCoy. He lobs a pass to McCoy in the flat and one of 2 things happen. McCoy doesn’t get his head around in time and it’s incomplete or McCoy catches it and it’s a big play.
So does Vick do the simple safe play and live to QB another play? No. He goes for the ESPN highlight play because it’s the highlight reel plays that earned him the big money, not playing it smart. That’s why Vick will never play a full season and never win a superbowl unless he’s carrying a clipboard. ESPN doesn’t care if he wins anything, just as long as he gives them material for ESPN top 10 plays of the day.
Let’s see what Foles can do.
He’s a walking marshmellow. Represents the Eagles franchise perfectly with his fragile, overrated, quitting attitude.
Gruden and Tirico are terrible. How is anyone going to stay awake listening to those 2?
This is going to get really old, really fast. As an Eagles fan, I want a QB who can take at least a little damage. At least Foles is showing potential. I’m far more impressed with him than Kafka.
“Dynasty Over!” Barked my Black Lab.
DYNASTY!!
The Eagles are getting waxed by New England’s AAA affiliate. Sigh. Philly is cursed.
What a coincidence! The Eagles are paper champions, and their quarterback is as fragile as damp tissue paper!
I just saw the hit & I have to say Mike looked like he was in alot discomfort!! Not hating just saying ………. I wish him well unless he is playing my team!!!
When he’s healthy, he’s arguably the best QB in the league.
When he’s healthy.
Thank goodness they can get out of his contract after this year. At this point, he can’t get out of bed without getting hurt.
As a Packers fan its funny to see the Pats backups showing up the Eagle’s starters lol. BTW I think its safe to say Vicky is made of glass.
I’ve been a Vick supporter, and I believe a lot of his injuries have been super fluky. However I can’t ignore reality for much longer.
Woof.
eaglesnoles? mad5555?

this is just a glimpse into a ‘regular’ season for you guys right?
enjoy!!
Where’s the story of the Patriots fans cheering Vick’s injury? I guess those stories only matter when Eagles fans are doing it and not when other fans are doing it to Eagles’ players.
Hey eagles the cardinals will trade you kolb for ummm well everyone on your team sucks so all of your next year draft picks.
Dynasty…
The nerve of folks to compare a real talent like RGIII to a quitter like Vick.
DYANSTYYYY ???
this ” team ” will be lucky to be 500 at best !
over rated ! over hyped ! 4th in the east
Remember the time Vick stayed healthy a full season??
Yea me neither!!
Every play he’s looking for an excuse to quit. Y’all would be better off to bring McNabb back…
Everybody said The Pats were protecting Brady cause he was a Star and couldn’t take it ….well I guess Vick can’t either ….would u rather pay for ore season tickets and have your key players not there so that when u are in the seats during the regular season they aren’t on the bench ????
Unfortunately, since this is the new NFL (The new NFL is where you can make up the rules as you go) Roger Gooddell will fine Cunningham for “tackling the QB”. As we all know Gooddell and the NFL owners have outlawed and banned tackling the QB.
No one cares.
The dream is dead. This team won’t win the division even WITH Vick.
Say what you want, but dude wants every single yard and leaves it on the field every time out, even in the preseason.
Karma just called.
She’s not done with Vick yet.
karma. just throw it away, moron.
What’s interesting about the ‘big hit’ Vick took, is how it wasn’t a ‘big hit’ at all. Vick is a Faberge Egg.
at least our D is looking good . . . oh wait
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Eagles have their starters in but are getting man-handled by the patriots Bench!
If he was a normal man, I’d be starting to feel sorry for the guy.
someone call bruce willis because weve fond mr. glass
I speak for a lot of Cowboy fans and Pit Bulls when I say, “good”.
Vick is the ONLY player in the NFL that I wish injury on.
So glad he got nailed. I only wish I could have seen it. I hate the Eagles, but again, he is the only player that I hope gets hurt. And that is because he is literally a piece of Garbage.
I still don;t know why Goodell let him back in the league.
All of you are dumb asses. If the bitch ass lineman holds a block, we wouldn’t be commenting. The o line nor the refs protect vick
As they say, Karma is a female dog.
They may need to pick up Kolb after the Cards cut him.
Danm, New Englands third team is pretty good ,
I think the EGIRLS may be just a little over rated tho…. Just sayin ! embarsing !
HAHAHAHAHA ! cry eagles cry !
Dinner just tastes so much better tonight.
LMAO!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! As awefull as it sounds it brings me joy to see him get plastered every time!
ESPN also reports that X-rays have shown Michael Vick to be completely comprised of paper mache.
Vick will be back, brother, and that’s the truth because Gator2006 told you so.
I feel so bad for the guy. I mean it couldn’t have happened to a nicer sociopath/animal murderer.
Although he is made of glass, not a single person in here would be in the game still after that hit. He got rocked!
i bet Donovan Mcnabb just turned the ringer on his cell phone up ever so slightly…silly rabbit
So should I get a 16 x 20 framed photo of Cunningham’s hit on Vick or a 27 x 41? Decisions…
Raise your hand if your surprised. 8-8 here we come. Andy, Vick missing games due to injury is not an acceptable excuse for not contending for a title. Vick missing games is a given, make sure you have a suitable back up.
This has nothing to do with this post, but can I just say that I seriously wish I could just mute Jon Gruden’s voice and hear just the play by play.
Everyone is the best according to him!
7-9
If they’re lucky.
Xrays came back negative for a fracture, eagle fans. I don’t think it would matter much anyway. If not tonight then it would be next week. In 10 seasons he’s only played 16 games in one. Btw. Let’s not kid ourselves…this offense will be running mainly through shady McCoy. I don’t believe the hype about reducing his touches this season.
rofl @ the guy that said Vick (WHEN HEALTHY) is the best QB in the league. LOL. Based on what? Hell, he’s fighting Robert Griffin the Turd for the basement position in the NFC East.
“He’s a walking marshmellow”
——
I hate to disagree, but marshmellows bounce right back….
Mike Vick is Playing you all, like a Dog playing dead.
As far as Vick is concerned, I’ve never seen a QB so F-R-A-G-I-L-E. Eli Manning nearly got murdered in the SF game and got up every single time. Vick gets pushed and he breaks a rib.
Good Luck keeping him healthy Philly!
Dream Team Dynasty of Sucking
No big deal. If he can’t compete, just drown him.
FRAH-GEE-LAY. Must be Italian!!
Bowls for Foles!!!!
He murdered all those dogs by electrocuting or drowning them. Good for whoever bangs Vick good. I can’t believe that Politically Correct Tony Dungy two years ago said that when Vick got out of prison he was not picked up by NFL teams because they were racist. We don’t need either of these two in football.
Who’s stupid idea was it to start the starting quarterback who’s supposed to spearhead the eagles to a Superbowl.In not one,but two meaningless preseason games.Gamble at the Hard Rock Casino not at Lincoln Financial.Thanks.
Let me start off by saying I love dogs, I have three of them and they are family to me… that said stop talking about the effing dogs with Vick already and wishing him to get hurt. It’s dumb and that’s me being nice to you people saying that.
That said, he is fragile and I am fairly confident he will never be what I thought he could be all those years back when I first saw him Va Tech. He will be hurt by week 6, guaranteed.
