PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Michael Vick is not on the sideline for the Philadelphia Eagles as he serves as the team’s third quarterback against Atlanta.
Vick has injured rib cartilage that he sustained two weeks ago. He is listed as the third quarterback behind starter Kevin Kolb and backup Mike Kafka.
Vick has the team’s permission to not be on the sideline, but is available if needed should Kolb or Kafka get injured. A third quarterback can come into the game in the fourth quarter; if he is used before then, the other two quarterbacks are ineligible to return to the game.
On Friday, Vick practiced for the first time since getting hurt. He began the season as the backup to Kolb, who lost his job after sustaining a concussion in Week 1 because Vick was sensational in his absence.
