Eagles QB Michael Vick left Thursday's game with a hand injury after hitting it on a teammate's helmet. X-rays have shown up negative and coach Andy Reid expects him to be fine. Vick told the media that he heard a pop, but didn't know if it was from his thumb or the collision. He expects to practice on Saturday. Vick was 3 of 4 for six yards in his limited time on the field.
Michael Vick Left Game With Hand Injury: Fantasy Implications
Michael Vick suffered a minor thumb injury in Thursday’s preseason opener. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: The Eagles dodged a major bullet here. The injury appears to only be a thumb contusion, and at worst Vick shouldn’t miss more than a couple practices. Nonetheless, this minor scare should remind us how injury-prone Vick can be, and backup Mike Kafka was less than impressive in his stead (5-9, 36 yards, one pick). Fantasy owners should not count on Vick to play all 16 games.
