Foles: Glad to See Vick, McCoy Practice
Les Bowen, Daily News Staff Writer
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles said after practice Tuesday he was glad to see Michael Vick able to get out there in uniform, Vick throwing the ball around as a partial participant after finally passing his imPACT concussion test.
"It was great having them out there," Foles said after both Vick and McCoy got the OK to ease back into practice. Both players still need to be evaluated by an independent neurologist before playing, and they seem unlikely to suit up Thursday against the Bengals. "Just their presence, to be out there to help us young guys ... is great for the team, it's a great vibe for the team."
Someone wondered if it was awkward, the first time on the field suited up since Foles was named the starter for the remainder of the season a little more than a week ago.
"There's no awkwardness," Foles said. "I've said before, Mike and I, our relationship has stayed the same. I'll always support Mike. I know he'll always support me, no matter what."
Foles is a classy kid....very good QB also.— jim35- Vick won't be making 15mil here or anywhere else in the league next year. He will have a job somewhere though. If he heals up and doesn't make any waves it will improve his prospects.— hillbillybirdsfan
- If the Eagles start Vick again....they've got no reason. Foles has been better, and he's also the future. I wish Mike Vick well, and maybe he'll get a starting job in another town.— armchairGM
- No Black QB will get fan support in Philly no matter how hard he plays, no matter how much he never gives up and no matter how good a teammate he is and supports his other teammates. @armchairGM, to say Foles, a good kid, is better than a multiple time pro bowl player that has NFL records is a joke. Vick got out of state fans like me to like and support the Eagles. When Vick leaves, so will Vick fans. Can't wait to see Vick play against Foles and the Birds GREAT O-line that allow Eagles QBs to get clobbered on a regular basis. Plus, Vick was sidelined because of his injury, idiots, not because Foles is better. Lurie and Reid and Marcus Vick, in hindsight, don't ewant Vick killed on the field. Who won more games this year, a healthy Foles or an injured Vick? Philly haters will always hate!— allworld2
- @JIm dude are you Fole's dad? Never seen someone love an unproven QB as much as this guy. Lets just see how it goes for 16 gms before we start anointing him the teams savior. Stop sniffing his jock— bhamss12
