Final Game til Week 6

Michael Vick will play in the Eagles' final preseason game, and might even take some snaps as a conventional quarterback. How much Vick plays Thursday night against the New York Jets at the Meadowlands has yet to be determined. This week will be his first road game with the Eagles. It could also mark his first time under center in the West Coast offense of Eagles head coach Andy Reid. Last week, it seemed to cause a disruption to the offensive rhythm and the plan was shelved midway through the second quarter. Reid rarely uses his starters in the fourth preseason game, which means McNabb in all likelihood will get the night off. That leaves backups Kevin Kolb, A.J. Feeley and Vick to split up the four quarters against the Jets. Reid did like what he saw of Vick against the Jaguars. “I thought he did well,” the coach said. “He threw the ball well when he threw it. When he ran, he outran the defensive end, which was good to see. I thought it was good to get him back out there just for the speed of the game. He came out healthy. You always worry about that the first game back. I thought he handled himself well. He seemed poised, made some good reads. That's a start.” Thursday could be the last time the Eagles see Vick in uniform for a while. Commissioner Roger Goodell can wait until Week Six to reinstate him to the team's roster.
