Mike Vick may not have avoided the (Kyle) Love Train, but Vick has dodged a bullet. (OK, it was actually Jermaine Cunningham who hit Vick. But I like the play on words enough to keep it in there.)

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, diagnostic testing showed no cartilage damage within Vick’s rib cage after Monday night’s monster hit.

X-rays taken last night also were negative for any broken ribs.

Though Vick won’t play on Friday night when the Eagles visit the Browns, he’s fully expected to suit up on September 9 when . . . the Eagles visit the Browns.
