PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Michael Vick is not practicing Wednesday because of broken ribs, and it’s uncertain whether the Pro Bowl quarterback will play when the Philadelphia Eagles host New England on Sunday.

Vick broke his two lower ribs on the second play of the Eagles’ 21-17 loss to Arizona on Nov. 13 and missed last Sunday’s 17-10 win at the New York Giants. Vince Young filled in and threw two touchdown passes.

Eagles coach Andy Reid says Vick threw a little on Tuesday and that he’s “getting better” but is “not there yet.”

Wide receiver DeSean Jackson also won’t practice because of a bruised foot.
