Vick to return after Eagles' bye Barring any unforeseen setbacks, Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick, who missed the last three games with cartilage damage in his rib cage, is expected back and will start against the Colts on Nov. 7, Eagles coach Andy Reid said on Monday.
"From the penalty he got Sunday, he's not afraid of contact," Reid said half-jokingly about Vick, who was called for getting in the way of a referee on the sideline during a return in Sunday's loss. "He's improving. He's getting healthier. I'm thinking he'll be ready for the Colts. If he isn't, I have faith in Kevin Kolb. The entire team has faith in Kevin. But it looks like (Vick) is on track to return."
"I'm feeling better. I think I'll be fine," Vick said after Sunday's 37-19 loss to Tennessee, in which he was the designated third quarterback, but watched the game from the sidelines.
Kevin Kolb filled in for Vick and went 2-1, beating San Francisco and Atlanta before the loss to the Titans.
In fact, Reid expects the Eagles to be as healthy as they possibly can be when they return from the bye week.
