After a series and a half on the field for the Philadelphia Eagles, Michael Vick has already come off the field following a very good short outing. It's the first preseason game, Vick looked to be in a rhythm, and his performances last year were nothing short of fantastic, so it's no surprise that Andy Reid has chosen to remove him early. He took apart the Ravens defense on his first series and finished 4/6 passing for 74 yards and a touchdown pass to Brent Celek. Vince Young is now in the game, and he's already picked up one first down with his feet on a 3rd and 6 play.

Star cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugah and Asante Samuel are also done for the night after just one series. Both looked good, but a blown coverage on a screen pass during the Baltimore Ravens' first series allowed Ray Rice to pick up a big gain as the drive eventually lead to a Ravens field goal. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles lead the Ravens by a score of 7-3 and most of the starters will probably be removed from the game shortly.
