Since Michael Vick was injured in week 5, Nick Foles has been the starter for the Philadelphia Eagles.Vick admitted to reporters Tuesday that his hamstring injury was “a pretty bad pull.” He further acknowledged that he’s not close to 100 percent and would be relegated to pocket passing if he was forced to play right now. Vick told the Philadelphia Inquirer that it’s very unlikely he plays Sunday.”Another week of rehab could put me in a position where I could start gaining confidence and I can go out and do the things I normally do,” Vick said Tuesday.
Both Vick and Foles have been in the same situation last season; Vick was injured and Foles had came in and finished the season off. During preseason Chip Kelly had made the decision that Vick was the best quarter back to run his offense and yet again Kelly is faced with a quarter back decision.”We’ll evaluate everything,” Kelly said. “Go back and watch the film, see what we did good, see what we did bad, then see where we are, see where Mike is.”

“We haven’t talked about that,” Vick responded when asked if Kelly had assured him he’d get his job back when healthy, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. “It’s no need to talk about it. We gotta go with the momentum, we gotta go with the flow. As players, we do what we’re asked to do.”
