From Jon Gruden to Nick Saban to Josh McDaniels, here’s the latest coaching buzz around the NFL.
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.

Where would the Eagles pick if the season ended today? How much can change in the next three weeks? Here’s a look.
Here’s a look at Eagles snap counts from Sunday’s win over the Bucs. We’ll go position-by-position.
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?
Here are my instant observations from the Eagles’ 23-21 win over the Bucs.
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.
Join Tim and Sheil for a live chat as the Eagles take on the Bucs Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.
The following Eagles are inactive for today’s game against the Bucs: Kurt Coleman, LeSean McCoy, Michael Vick, Mike Patterson, Greg Salas, Chris Polk and Matt Kopa.
As Sheil detailed earlier, the Eagles have an 8.6 percent chance to grab the No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft, per Football Outsiders, and nearly a 50 percent chance to be in the top 5.
If the season ended today, the Eagles would have the fourth pick. What exactly would that get them? We looked at all the NFL drafts since 2000 to see if they hold any answers. Here is a look at what teams have done with that fourth pick over the last 13 seasons:
