Broken Ribs.

"The full extent of his injury is still unknown but it's expected he will miss at least a few weeks."

They'll tape him up and will protect him as much as they can until Vick comes back for week three...that vick move looks like a good one now

They might bring Jeff Garcia back in the interim.

SCNDLS said:

Yea I just heard,but if they can get AJ Feely back that would be better.Whoever it is,will be here for only a week..Vick will be back for game 3.I hated Garcia when he was with my Bucs,so I personally hope noone signs him.

SavonOsco said:

Garcia got skills tho. It would make sense to resign and if did well to keep Vick on the bench. He ain't in football shape.

SCNDLS said:

Yeah,I see they signed Garcia today..Oh well I guess it's good insurance

SavonOsco said:

Damn, I been out awhile. I hadn't seen that.

SCNDLS said:

Yeah Im listening to Andy Ried's radio show and he confirmed it.He said once AJ Feely decided to go to Carolina,they called Garcia and agreed to terms.It's going to be a interesting week here in Philly...that's for sure

oooh that must hurt.


Glad he didnt injure them lips!

Jeff Garcia back with the Eagles

Eagles coach Andy Reid on Monday confirmed the team has signed Garcia, a 10-year veteran who played for Philadelphia in 2006 and went 6-2 in eight starts — including the playoffs—while McNabb was injured. The team needed a backup quarterback in case McNabb, who suffered a broken rib in Philadelphia’s 38-10 win over Carolina in the season opener, is not able to play this week against the New Orleans Saints.

Third-year pro Kevin Kolb(notes) filled in for McNabb and will start this week if McNabb is out, Reid said.

“We’re lucky Jeff was available,” Reid said. “He’s someone who knows this offense and has been very successful in this offense. He can be a positive influence on Kevin Kolb.”

Garcia, who was signed by Oakland in the offseason to push JaMarcus Russell(notes) and serve as a mentor to the former No. 1 overall draft pick, was released by the Raiders on Sept. 5 after playing little in the preseason.

Garcia played well in his previous stint with the Eagles three seasons ago, throwing 11 touchdown passes against two interceptions in eight starts.

Philadelphia’s other quarterback, Michael Vick(notes), is not eligible because he was suspended for the first two regular-season games as the last part of the NFL’s penalty for his role in a dogfighting ring.
