Vick's Hand Not Broken; Could Play Sunday


Michael Vick does not have a broken hand after all, said Andy Reid this morning at his weekly Monday morning press conference.

Reid said that a blood vessel appeared on the X-Ray, which made it look like Vick had a fracture on his hand.The injury diagnosis is now a hand contusion.

With his hand not broken, the only obstacle in the way of Vick playing on Sunday is getting the swelling in his hand to go down. If they can make that happen, Reid did not rule out the possibility of Vick taking the field vs. the San Francisco 49ers in 6 days.

Should the swelling not go down and Vick is unable to go, Reid would not commit to either Mike Kafka or Vince Young. However, Reid did say that Young has a good feel for the offense and that would not stand in the way of Young getting the start.

In other injury news, Reid said that Jeremy Maclin's MRI on his hamstring showed that it is not as bad as they originally thought, and he is day-to-day. Riley Cooper, who suffered a concussion, is doing well Reid said. Cooper missed two games last season with a concussion.
