Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Michael Vick left Monday night's 27-17 victory over the New England Patriots with a rib injury suffered in the middle of the first quarter, and the injury could lead to Vick being sidelined for the remainder of the preseason.
Head coach Andy Reid believes the potential scenario of Vick missing the remainder of the preseason games won't be much of an issue.
"Listen, if he didn't play again (in the preseason) then he'd be OK," Reid said. "I would tell you I'd probably like to see him play a little bit more, but he's got enough experience. We're not talking about a rookie. I think he'll probably be OK.
"I'm not that concerned, other than he's hurt," Reid said. "I want to make sure he heals up and get him back in there. Hopefully, he doesn't get hurt again."
Vick went 1 for 3 for 5 yards with one run for another 5 yards. After Cunningham drove his helmet into Vick's left side, the quarterback went down, got up slowly then knelt on one knee. He was checked by medical personnel before going to the sideline under his own power.
"Mike's tough," McCoy said. "I kind of figured it would be all right, even though he took kind of a big blow."
In a 24-23 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Aug. 9, he smacked his thumb on the helmet of center Jason Kelce.
Rookie Nick Foles, a third-round draft pick from Arizona, came off the bench in both games to throw two touchdowns.
In Monday night's game, Foles finished 18 for 28 for 217 yards and touchdown passes to Clay Harbor.
