Vick, McCoy Eyeing Return To Practice

Philadelphia Eagles RB LeSean McCoy.Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy returned to baseline on their imPACT tests, the team announced, and could be back at practice as early as Tuesday.

An Eagles spokesman indicated that both players have yet to see an independent neurologist, a necessary step before being cleared to play after a concussion.

Vick went home sick on Monday (unrelated to his head injury) and was unavailable for comment. McCoy made a brief appearance in the locker room and joked how he was feeling better until he saw the media.

Andy Reid has already named Nick Foles the starter for the remainder of the year, meaning Vick would only return in a reserve role. It is possible, though, that McCoy could get back to action. Given that the Eagles play on Thursday, it’s difficult to envision either playing this week.

Eagles Wake-Up Call: Growing Confidence In the Kid

As rookie tackle Dennis Kelly put it, there were no “movie-quality quotes” out of Nick Foles in the final moments against the Bucs Sunday. He did not grab a facemask or launch into any inspirational speeches. Yet Andy Reid said afterwards that Foles was able to rally his teammates down the stretch and made everyone play better.

How did he do it?

Celek Suffers Concussion Against Bucs

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek.The Eagles are down yet another playmaker.

Brent Celek suffered a concussion on the very first play of the game against the Bucs Sunday. He is the third member of the offense to be sidelined by a head injury in recent weeks, joining Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy.

Celek was tackled by a pair of Tampa defenders after a modest gain and had trouble getting to his feet. He eventually walked off and was evaluated by trainers on the sidelines before heading inside.

Celek was replaced by Clay Harbor.

The offense has been ripped apart by injuries. Four-fifths of the offensive line is gone. Same with the starting quarterback, the starting running back and No. 1 wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who is on injured reserve with fractured ribs. And now, their tight end.

Nnamdi Asomugha left early in the second quarter with a neck and thigh injury. The veteran corner jumped up to make a play on the ball and was upended by Dallas Clark. Asomugha landed flat on his upper back and stayed down for some time before walking gingerly off the field.
