Michael Vick still below baseline on concussion test, would start if healthy
Zach Berman
Michael Vick still is below the baseline for the ImPACT test that measures cognative funcition after a concussion, Eagles coach Andy Reid said Monday. Reid said Vick is "improving" and will start at quarterback against the Panthers if he's healthy.
"We'll see how he does this week," Reid said.
Rookie Nick Foles struggled as Vick's replacement on Sunday. Reid saw positives in in Foles' performance, but also saw why Foles is a rookie who was not selected until the third round.
"There were some good things he did and there were some things he could definitely learn from," Reid said. "He made some good throws, some good tight, throws early that I thought were some pretty good plays. But he's a young guy, rookie."
- Riley Cooper has knee inflammation, but should be able to practice this week. Cullen Jenkins has a foot sprain, but he should be able to practice this week.
Several of the dogs Mike Vick smashed in the head are also showing improved cognitive function, they're hoping to finally re-enter the fighting cage this weekend for a little torture session.— Bobski5000- Vick is a real QB. Block for him OL.— 2smart4philly
- Vick LOST FIVE GAMES IN A ROW...— jim35
- AR is delusional...his current coaching will get more players hurt before the end of the season - Michael Vick will be reconcussed....and Shady....watch your back too. I think it is safer to be hurt on the Eagles...when they play the coaches are doing such stupid things...that injury is not only possible, it is probable.
Jeff Lurie....if you have a grain of sense...you need to save your team before you have no one who can play football. Making Fole throw that much in his first game was another way to potentially hurt him physically - certainly make him more gun shy.— 5thstrretpast - It hardly matters. The only reason to watch the remaining games is to do your research prior to Comcast's hilarious post-game show.— dasher
- Isn't Vick always below "baseline cognative funcition"?
Eagles should try to lose every game so they draft a real QB and OL.— billy goat - This season is a lost cause. Let's see what Trent Edwards can do if Foles doesn't improve early against Carolina.— 1republican
- Ugggg! First Romney loses, and then we find out Foles sucks! Meet me at the Ben Franklin bridge. I can't take it anymore!! Hahahaha— If i may add
