We finally are starting to get word on exactly what is wrong with Vick and McCoy.
"Michael Vick suffered a "rib cartilage injury" in the Philadelphia Eagles' loss to the Washington Redskins on Sunday, Eagles Coach Andy Reid said in a press conference today in Philadelphia.
"There are no broken bones, but it is up high, between the second and third ribs," Reid said, adding that the cartilage looks "cracked" and the injury is near the sternum.
LeSean McCoy suffered "a rib fracture" against the Redskins, he said.
Reid gave no specific timetable for Vick's return, saying he was week to week and adding that if he is as sore Wednesday as he is today, Kevin Kolb will run first-team offense during practice (Washingtonpost)."
This sucks, because Vick in one of the most exciting guys to watch in the NFL, but people can't be surprised that he got hurt. His style of play will always leave him open to injury.
Anyways, the Eagles could be in a lot of trouble. Kolb looked shaky, and if McCoy is out they aren't going to have much of a running game to lean on. I hope both are back soon, but I'd be surprised if either played this week.
