Michael Vick will start for Philadelphia Eagles after bye

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is expected to start against the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 7, Coach Andy Reid said.

"I'm feeling better. I think I'll be fine,"(nfl jerseys cheap) Vick said Sunday.

In case you're having trouble keeping track, Vick started the season as the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback behind Kevin Kolb, who became the starter after Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins over the summer.

Vick took over as starter after Kolb left Game 1 with a concussion. Vick performed so well (passing for 459 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 140 yards in six quarters) that he was named the team's permanent starter before Game 3 (a day after Reid announced that Kolb would start that game).

But Vick has not played since damaging cartilage in his rib cage during Game 4. Kolb has played well in his absence, throwing for 1,011 yards and six touchdowns.

So even though Reid has announced Vick as the starter in the team's next game,(Miami Dolphins Jersey) don't forget that the Eagles coach has changed his mind before.

It wasn’t what Andy Reid said,(Jaguars Jersey) but how he said it. The quotes read the same as any other week – we heard “I have to do a better job” numerous times – but on Monday it was said with more feeling. It wasn’t just words, not this time.

Sunday’s loss in Tennessee hurt and as much as the Eagles coach allows anyone to see what he is really feeling, he let it show. The way he fielded questions – grimacing, pausing, shaking his head – he looked like a guy still feeling the pain.

For the better part of three quarters, the Eagles outplayed, outhit and, yes, outcoached the Tennessee Titans. They appeared on their way to an impressive victory and a glossy 5-2 record going into the bye week. Then, suddenly the football was on the ground, the Titans were celebrating and everything changed.
