Eagles QB Vick returning to practice
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick announced via Twitter on Saturday morning that he will return to practice in the afternoon.
Vick injured his left thumb when it made contact with the back of center Jason Kelce's helmet during a pass attempt during Thursday night's preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The X-rays on the thumb turned out negative.
Vick's backup, Mike Kafka, broke his non-throwing (left) hand in the exhibition game and will be limited for the next three weeks. Kafka can participate in drills where he does not have to take snaps from center.
Rookie Nick Foles, a third-round draft pick, will get most of the work with the No. 2 offense with Kafka limited. Foles completed six of 10 passes for 144 yards with two touchdowns in the third quarter against the Steelers.
