FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – Michael Vick says he is fine after banging the back of his head and briefly leaving the New York Jets’ game at Kansas City on Sunday, and he expects to be ready to start against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Vick was shaken up early in the fourth quarter of the Jets’ 24-10 loss when he was popped by Chiefs linebacker Josh Mauga after throwing an incomplete pass. Vick’s head slammed into the turf and he was slow to get up. The 34-year-old quarterback passed the NFL’s concussion protocol before returning a few minutes later.
Vick, starting in place of Geno Smith, was 21 of 28 for 196 yards and a touchdown and committed no turnovers.
Smith, inactive with a sore right shoulder, is uncertain for Sunday against the Steelers.
