Reid: 'Pretty Significant' Vick Concussion
Les Bowen
Eagles coach Andy Reid all but acknowledged that quarterback Michael Vick won't play this Sunday at Washington.
Reid said Vick has a "pretty significant" concussion from Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He said the Eagles will follow the league protocol, and that rookie Nick Foles will take the practice reps Wednesday.
"Michael's our quarterback, but I have confidence in Nick," said Reid, who danced around the issue of what would happen if Foles played well. He said he isn't thinking in terms of going to the rookie after a certain number of losses.
Reid said right guard Danny Watkins might be back this week. He wouldn't speculate on whether Dennis Kelly might move out to tackle in place of King Dunlap or Demetress Bell.
Ried said tackle Jason Peters, trying to come back from Achilles' surgery, won't practice this week.
andy reids more than likely gonna stick with foles the rest of the year no matter what happens to michael vicks health.then at the end of the season the talk with lurie will be something like "jeff,the kids got potential and if i could have just a full season to groom him then we got something here"he will convince this owner then that he can right this ship and turn it around.and then the two will get with andys agent and negotiate a new contract.— arkdad212- andy reids more than likely gonna stick with foles the rest of the year no matter what happens to michael vicks health.then at the end of the season the talk with lurie will be something like "jeff,the kids got potential and if i could have just a full season to groom him then we got something here"he will convince this owner then that he can right this ship and turn it around.and then the two will get with andys agent and negotiate a new contract.— arkdad212
- Did the NHL settle yet?????— mrjarn
- MRD- I couldn't agree with you more. Even DRC says that other teams say we s**k.— mrjarn
- Hey, ghost of callison- c'mon, Reid will "do a better job there"...— mrjarn
- mrjarn: That's what we've been hearing for the last 14 years, eh? ;)
What Lurie needs to do is to put Reid in a "better position for the players to make plays", namely out the back door.— ghost of callison
