The Facts:
Vick was not late, and he was not supposed to be on the sideline for the Eagles on Sunday. That’s what HC Andy Reid said after a 31-17 victory over Atlanta in which Vick was the third quarterback. Vick has injured rib cartilage that he sustained two weeks ago. “I told the kid to be here are 12:15, and he showed up at 12:15,” Reid said. The game kicked off at 1 p.m. “That’s it, enjoy the win."

And why wasn't Vick on the sidelines? “We just kept him in the locker room, not near the field," Reid said. "Today, I just wanted him here. I wasn’t going to let him get in the game and throw the ball. He was not getting hit (Sunday), The chances of him being in there were slim to none. He needed to be around here dressed and in the locker room. ...” When Vick was not in the stadium 90 minutes before kickoff, even as some of his teammates were working out on the field, it caused a stir. The Eagles said there was nothing amiss and that Vick had permission to show up late.
