Vick injury on Sporting News
PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick, who came into the Redskins-Eagles game as the NFL's third-ranked passer and tops in yards per carry, was taken into the locker room for X-rays late in the first quarter. The Eagles announced that Vick had a rib and chest injury and would not return to the game.
Vick was injured when sandwiched between former Falcons teammate DeAngelo Hall and Kareem Moore on a brilliant run that was called back by a penalty on guard Max Jean-Gilles with 26 seconds left in the first quarter and Philadelphia trailing 14-0.
Kevin Kolb, initially named the Eagles starter this season, replaced Vick. Kolb missed substantial time earlier in the season after suffering a Week 1 concussion -- an injury that opened the door for Vick to take over the starting job.

Schefter is reporting a 'rumor' that he has a hairline fracture of his collarbone.

Collarbone was my initial thought as well.

Derrick Gunn on CSN Philly's Eagles Post Game show is reporting could be 3 broken ribs, and possibly out up to 6 weeks. Still too early to say for sure though.

Not sure it sucks for McCoy owners, particularly in PPR leagues.

McCoy will be money, the rest are in the tank.

McCoy won't get the running lanes like he does with Vick. He sucked against the Packers when Kolb played.

Definitely a bump to Celek though. He was MIA with Vick in there. Kolb will bring him back.

6 weeks? Ouch, I was hoping like 2 weeks....at least this was the stretch where they play a bunch of solid defenses and Vick would start being Vick again.

I think you still hold onto Vick if its six weeks. He would be back by week 11 or 12 and could help a team surge into the playoffs.

Well that puts the broken bone rumors to rest.

I think it really depends on your roster size. My wife is actually in one where you can only keep 2. Her other is Orton, she can start him but on a bye, she'll have to pick someone else up and drop Vick.If you have a huge roster size, sure stash him away but there are leagues out there where you're forced to make REALLY tough decisions. Personally I'm starting to like leagues like that, not where you can IR players all over and keep 4 Qb's on a roster.

I'm not a doctor, nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night, but this would tend to make me think bruised ribs. Painful, but not nearly as bad as a broken rib, or collarbone.

trading down?oh and what a
breaker... from a 30 yard scramble td (well at 1/2 but that is where I was with my hands in the air) to injured and called back on holding.

If I'm the Eagles I've seen enough already. Bring on Garcia.

How much time do you think he would miss with 3 broken ribs?

Mike Vick did not speak to the media after the game, but DeSean Jackson and others said they do not believe it is too serious

Wouldn't the best case be he is sore and has nothing else wrong with him and he doesn't miss any time?

You need a couple of pitchers o'beer or else you can't function in here Sunday afternoons. Truly, it was a hard hit but it didn't look like something where you go "Oh broken ribs, 6 weeks"...and Kolb did NOTHING when he got in the game...everytime I looked over it was 17-6 still in favor of the Skins...that game was there for the taking and Kolb did barely anything. I'm betting Vick is back sooner than later.gary mexico
Footballguy
Yeah, he got jacked up is what. I cant believe his collar bone isnt broke after that sandwich hit...

Probably helps all Celek owners..

How in the hell do you know what the best case scenario is? We dont even have a definitive diagnosis yet

Going to have MRI tomorrow.
Note to all QBs -> this why you slide

X-Rays are negative. Howard Eskin on Sports Final says Vick has a sternum injury, and they suspect torn cartilage on his ribs. MRI tomorrow will show if that is the case.
EDIT: he also said expect Vick out 2-3 weeks.

Here's Vick in the locker room looking very sore.

X-rays are not definitive with this sort of potential injury. The MRI will be as to hairline fractures and the like. I still wonder whether he also/instead might have separated his shoulder, although typically that happens with an extended arm and not an arm tucked into the chest like Vick's was.The thing that also concerns me is that he seemed to be clutching his right (throwing arm) side.

He looks like he is in pain for sure, very gingerly trying to put that shirt on. At least he's up and moving around and it's not an arm or leg injury. It's certainly something that he hopefully can come back and play in a few weeks.

Long-term, Vick being out 6 weeks, may be the best thing for the Eagles to find out what they have in Kolb. Whatever veteran they pick up to fill in as back-up (Kafka is not going to be the back-up), he will only play if Kolb gets hurt. This will be Kolb's time to audition. Show us you can throw down field and use those great young receivers you have, and you can be the long-term starter of the Eagles. Show us you can't, and the Eagles look to sign Vick to a multi-year deal before the year is up. Kolb gets traded in the off-season or plays 2011 as the back-up to Vick.
Short-term this probably means no playoffs this year, but hey, we weren't expecting SB at the beginning of the season anyway. Let's get set-up to make a good run in 2011.
