Eagles HC Andy Reid revealed in Monday’s press conference that QB Michael Vick suffered “a couple broken ribs” in Sunday’ loss to the Cardinals. The injury occurred on the 2nd play of the game, according to Reid.
It helps explain Vick’s abysmal performance but also has his Week 11 status in doubt. Remember that Vick missed 4 weeks with a rib cartilage injury last season. This is a different ailment, but it’s to the same part of his body.
The fact that he played through it yesterday gives him a good shot to be back on the field this coming weekend, but we’ll have to watch and see how it develops through the week.
