Vick sits out practice again
Jeff McLane, Inquirer Staff Writer
Michael Vick did not practice Thursday and Kevin Kolb took all of the first-team repetitions at quarterback as the Eagles continued their preparations for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Vick was inside the indoor facility for the early portion of practice and participated in warm-ups and did some throwing. But when the formal portion of practice began, the Eagles' starting quarterback left.
Vick has been sidelined with an injury to his ribs. He missed Sunday's game against the 49ers -- an Eagles victory -- and appears to be a long shot to play against his former team at Lincoln Financial Field this Sunday. Vick said yesterday that he shouldn't be counted out from returning in time and that he could play even if he didn't practice all week.
Eagles coach Andy Reid was less optimistic.
Defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley (elbow) and wide receiver Riley Cooper (concussion) also didn't practice. Cooper, who was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, must have suffered a setback.
Running back LeSean McCoy (ribs) and guard Todd Herremans (knee), a day after skipping practice, were full participants, as were the following players: tight end Brent Celek (wrist), defensive end Trent Cole (hamstring), tackle Austin Howard (back) and cornerback Dimitri Patterson (back).

yeah bill, make it hurt.— jimmythec- Why even answer a slime bucket like Boob1966? Ignoring idiots like him and his kind is the best way to hurt them. Mike Vick doesn't need to play. he's healing. He'll be fine if he waits until after the bye to come back. Then it'll be the Mike Vick Experience again! GO VICK GO! GO EAGLES!!

get help Lil Bill. Before the delusions seem more real. Seriously. I'm not joking. You should seek some professional help. Before the hatred consumes your whole life (if it hasn't already). That's no way to live.— Mabus- Vick is the only chance we have based on Andy's astute picking of o-liners......keep him out till after the bye.....we are long shots anyway.......and with King Dunlap in there...Kevin and Kalfka will get much need experience (for trade bait) before they are hurt.....— nuggett

- PRACTICE-PRACTICE-WE'RE TALKING PRACTICE! Wasn't there another thug from Virginia Beach that didn't practice but expected to play at game time. Perfect time to trade Vick to the Cleveland dogpound before he comes back and devalues his stock by going back to what he was in Atlanta.— jwatson

BillIQ20 still living in 1966...you, your hateful vitriol, and your kind, will soon be extinct like the dinosaurs. So stop with the racist, 3 yr old comments and grow up.- vick has the 2nd best QB rating in the NFL through week 5. for some "eagles fans" to wish that he gets injured and not play is just bewildering, not to mention hypocritical.— NovaWildcats36
