Pats getting leg up on Vick?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Michael Vick appears set to start Sunday’s game with New England at the Georgia Dome after an MRI exam administered late Sunday night showed only a “mild sprain” of the medial collateral right knee ligament, coach Jim Mora said. He suffered the injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s 30-10 wipeout of the Vikings after being hit by rookie Erasmus James.
A guess is that Vick probably won’t practice much this week and could be limited somewhat come game time. But playing well in both the running and passing games in a 24-16 victory at Buffalo last week with a strained left hamstring, Vick is probably less insecure now than he used to be about playing at less than full strength.
Though it is early in the week, let’s get some discussion going on how what transpired Sunday could affect the upcoming game against the defending Super Bowl champs. Also, interject some thoughts about Vick having already having some health issues in each leg just four games into the season.
