NFL-MORE NEWS
Maybe this explains Vick’s performance…Jackson tries to smooth
things over
UNDATED (AP) – It turns out that Michael Vick was playing
injured for most of the Eagles’ 21-17 loss to Arizona on Sunday.
Coach Andy Reid says his star quarterback broke two lower ribs
when he took a hard hit to the side early in the game.
Reid says the injury “probably had something to do” with
Vick’s inaccuracy. He was 16 of 34 for 128 yards with two
interceptions.
Vick’s status for Sunday night’s game at the rival New York
Giants is uncertain.
In other news from around the NFL:
– Eagles Pro Bowl receiver DeSean Jackson says he has spoken to
coach Andy Reid and his teammates, and is ready to move forward
after being deactivated Sunday because he missed a meeting. Jackson
acknowledges he probably needs to do certain things better. He’s in
the final year of his rookie contract and made it clear he wants a
new deal when he held out 11 days in training camp.
– Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel (KAS’-uhl) sustained what coach
Todd Haley is calling a “significant” injury to his throwing hand
during Sunday’s loss to Denver. Haley refuses to say whether the
team will put the former Pro Bowl signal caller on injured reserve.
But he did say “it’s a possibility” when asked whether Cassel
will miss the rest of the season. Tyler Palko is expected to start
Monday night at New England.
