Michael Vick might not play Sunday

Wearing Michael Vick Eagles jersey, the Philadelphia Eagles starter quarterback Michael Vick hasn’t taken part in any practice drills on Friday. Therefore, he might not probably participate in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, which will cause two straight days for absence in the field for the Philadelphia Eagles. In fact, Michael Vick is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.

As a matter of fact, Michael Vick was bothered by broken ribs, which has kep him out in last week’s game against the New York Giants, when the Eagles won the game without him. And he is now one of four Eagles players and one of three key starters who could miss the interconference mutchup against the AFC East front-runners at Lincoln Financial Field. Wearing Philadelphia Eagles jerseys, Michael Vick couldn’t lead the Philadelphia Eagles, but they are still in must-win mode to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

Michael Vick matches Cowboys’ pass rusher

DeMarcus Ware wears DeMarcus Ware Cowboys jersey and is as good as it gets as a pass rusher. Michael Vick wears Michael Vick Eagles jersey and is as elusive as it gets as a quarterback. There will be a cat-and-mouse game between Vick and Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

Vick will try to anticipate where Ware and other pass rushers will be coming from. Ryan will try to disguise defenses and pressure Vick with a variety of blitzes.

“He’ll move people over in unusual ways which are sort of uncommon,” Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said of Ryan. “You see it from other teams but he does it a little bit more.”

A key for Vick will be avoiding turnovers. He enters the game having thrown eight interceptions.

“Mike has been excellent his whole career in taking care of the ball, but some of them have been some tipped balls, and he got hit a couple of times right as he threw, and that led to turnovers,” Mornhinweg said. “He’s working through it, and we’ve identified several things he can get better at.”
