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.

Mike Vick Breaks his Hand

Coming out of the game Sunday against the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was holding his hand. Many people thought it could be a finger injury, since not many serious injuries happen to Vick. Well this one is serious.

Michael Vick has a broken right hand. After a hit from Chris Canty, Vick went to the locker room, supposedly for x-rays on his hand, which was dinged up earlier. He was pulled for Mike Kafka by Andy Reid in the fourth quarter. His return is doubtful today, and probably next week.



Luckily for the Eagles, Mike Vick is a lefty and will probably try to play in the coming weeks with an extra padded protective glove. Although it will still be hard for Vick to take the total of hits by defenses that he keeps getting due to the chance of him having to use his right hand to brace his fall.

Get well soon, Mike. Also, get a better offensive line scheme Eagles.

Update: Vick says he feels like officials are looking the other way at late hits, saysthe officials need to do their jobs, too.
