PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Eagles coach Andy Reid says Michael Vick is unlikely to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys after the quarterback missed a second straight day of practice.
Reid said Thursday it would be “a stretch” for Vick to play. The game has no significance to Philadelphia’s playoff status.
Vick bruised his right leg on the first play of the Eagles’ 24-14 loss to the Vikings Tuesday night, a loss that eliminated the Eagles from contention for a first-round playoff bye and locked them into the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs as the East division champions.
The Eagles (10-5) will open postseason against either the Packers, Giants or Buccaneers.
Kevin Kolb, who has started four games, would start if Vick can’t go.
