According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Michael Vick will be out of Sunday nights game against San Francisco due to cartilage damage in his ribs. With a lack of faith in Kevin Kolb, rumors are beginning to swirl that the Eagles may call on their former QB, Jeff Garcia, who is currently slumming it down in the UFL.
With Michael Vick Out, Will The Eagles Call On Jeff Garcia?
Over the past 24 hours, here have been rumors swirling that former Eagle (and former 49er, for that matter) Jeff Garcia could be brought back into the fold for his third stint in Philadelphia. Garcia is currently playing for the UFL’s Omaha Nighthawks, but would be allowed to return to the NFL with the UFL commissioner’s approval and a buyout fee of $150,000 (paid from the Eagles to the Nighthawks). When questioned about a possible return, the 40 year old Garcia downplayed the idea, saying:
“I really don’t want to comment on anything right now because it’s just talk. We’ll see what transpires over the next couple of days.”
Kolb will get the start but if he gets injured, the Eagles only have rookie Mike Kafka to fall back on. Even if they don’t acquire Garcia, expect them to make a move ASAP for a veteran.
