This means Kevin Kolb will back in the starting lineup this Sunday against San Francisco. In an interview with WXTG Radio 102.1 The Game and The Bruce Smith Show, Vick comments on the severity of his injury:
“There is some cartilage damage up in there and a small fracture up in there, so maybe a week, maybe two weeks. We’ll have to see. I’ve got some cartilage damage up in there, in the upper area of my ribs. I just have to work through it. I’ve always been a quick healer. It won’t be no more than one, two weeks hopefully. Hopefully.”
The only other quarterback that the Eagles have on the roster is rookie Mike Kafka to fall back on if something were to happen to Kolb. Look for the Eagles to possibly add veteran free agent to act as a stop gap while Vick is out.
