Mike Vick Practices For First Time Since Concussion

So, my prediction wasn't as exactly accurate per se. The Philadelphia Eagles fell to the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday, with a final score of 35 - 31. For the time that he was in, Vick threw over 200 yards and two touchdowns. That is, until he slammed helmets with fellow teammate Todd Herremans and subsequently left the game with a mild concussion and a bitten tongue.

It's been four days since, and the question that is in everyone's mind is whether or not Vick will be able to play this Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants. According to Head Coach Andy Reid and Head Athletic trainer Rick Burkholder, Vick was immediately aware of his surroundings and barely failed cautionary concussion testing on the sidelines.

Today, Vick was cleared to practice with the team for the first time since Sunday's accident. It's unclear whether or not he has been medically cleared by an independent neurologist (now part of the NFL's mandatory concussion testing) or fully gone through 'impact testing'. As of right now, Vick is not officially listed on the team's injury report.

Although backup QB Mike Kafka performed well while Vick was on the sidelines; Philly phans better hope that Vick is able to get back on the field for Sunday's matchup with a hungry Giants team. He undoubtedly gives them the best chance to succeed.
