Eagles Wednesday Injury Report: Maclin & Vick Out, Mathis & Allen Back

PrintNate Allen and Evan Mathis missed last week's game with a concussion and turf toe respectively and both returned to practice today. That should mean both will be back for Sunday's game against the Giants.
The news for Michael Vick and Jeremy Maclin is less sure. Both missed practice today and their status for this weekend is up in the air. The Eagles promoted Chad Hall off the practice squad to play WR (and potentially return kicks) so they seem to have at least some concern about Maclin's availability this weekend.
As for Vick, Reid said "we'll see how it goes" when asked whether he could be ready to to play.
"There all a little bit different in different places." Reid said "At times the player will feel the rubbing going on with the ribs. Michael doesn't have that right now. We'll just see. We take it day by day and we'll see how it all works out."
Reid did not name a starter for the weekend and wouldn't speculate whether Vince Young or Mike Kafka would get the call, but the reports are that Vince Young took nearly all of the first team snaps. So if Vick doesn't go, Young seems like the obvious guy.
Speaking after practice, Mike Kafka says that it didn't look like Vick was in much pain when asked whether he thought Michael would play this weekend.
"Vick is a tough guy and I wouldn't expect anything less. He has a couple of broken ribs, so I'm assuming that has to hurt. I've never had any broken ribs so I can't speak for him. He is a tough guy and he hides it pretty well if he is in any pain."

Go with Kafka, I want to see what he could do with a full week of preparation. Vince Young is a worthless entity on this team, no value now or in the future. Kafka at least has future value.

Couldn’t agree more…I would love to see VY gone at the end of this season…give Kafka some time to prep and let the kid get his feet wet for a full game…what’s he going to do, blow the season?

Could not disagree more
Vince YOung must be the guy. He must answer one way or the other for this Dream Team nonsense.
He HAS to play.

..could go either way…
You are speaking from emotions, they are speaking from a future prospect point of view…
…I really don’t know….or care at this point ….play Ronnie Brown back there for all I care…

I don’t see Mike Kafka as any kind of future prospect. So it doesn’t really matter to me whether he plays or not.

Im not disagreeing, but having him play could show the FO if he is a future prospect or not, and they can draft accordingly in April.

agreed, it would be good to see him play some quality time in a reg season game. then one might have a better view of him whether he can be something more in the future
woman !, don't try to understand em, don't try to make them understand you, for they are a breed apart ! lol

I don’t understand this at all. We have to see what Vince Young can do just because he said the “Dream Team” thing? Uh… Not really. His contract expires after the season and he holds no value to the Eagles now or in the future so why invest time in him when you can give Kafka starting experience?

Yes
That is exactly why we have to.
Mike Kafka is just a guy. He can play next preseason. He’s a nonfactor on this team now and going forward.
Vince Young must play.

But why? Just to answer for the dream team stuff? Seems kind of petty.

It's not petty at all
It’s fate. This needed to happen.
It’s one game, why would we not want to see this?

yup, id like to see what Kafka has to offer......
id think he has more to offer future wise than young.

Just sayin..
T. Homo played with broken ribs & punctured lung..
Mike said only way he would leave field is if they carry him.
Time to back up his word, needs to play
You kids and your InterWebNet VooDoo......Scary
So what do you want him to do? Just walk up into the huddle and tell Kafka/Young to leave and that he’s playing QB.
I'm great like Gatsby.

Not all rib injuries are the same
And by the way, MIke did play with the ribs broken.
As for this weekend, he would need to be cleared to play. It won’t really be up to him. When it happens in a game, you can hide it and stay out there. Now they know he’s injured, so they decide if he can play.

Please keep Vick out
Its not like our season is on the up and up anyways. And besides, the giants seem to always have Vick’s number. Im not going off any stats, just memory, but I remember them hitting Vick quite a few times the past 3 times he has played them. Let him heal. No need rushing to get him back in the game. I remember it took McNabb 2 weeks to come back from his rib injury a few years ago.

heres hoping shady runs all over em this weekend )
but sadly i think the giants will probably crowed the los to stop em and make the qb beat em (

As long as we have cheyney covering the # 1 receiver well be fine. Cheyney on nicks. Jarrett on manningham. And mathews on Cruz. Nnamdi will be somewhere lingering in a weird non working zone or offsides or committing a 3rd down P.I

I’m looking forward to the matchup of Trent Cole on Hakeem Nicks in the red zone. Nnamdi will be busy spying Eli to make sure he doesn’t run.

Kafka has been a healthy scratch all season long
when both Vick and VY are healthy. No way he plays.
2nd and 3rd QB is a fabricated controversy if you go by who has travelled all season long.
gives Jimmy k a wave and a grinner
