The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Vick is likely to play Sunday against the 49ers despite a deep bone bruise in his right hand, team sources said Tuesday.

According to the Inquirer, if the swelling in his non-throwing hand decreases and he is cleared to play by a doctor, Vick will start for the second straight week in spite of injury. He suffered a concussion against the Falcons on Sept. 18, but passed evaluations the following days and was in the lineup on Sunday against the Giants. If Vick isn't able to go, Vince Young and Mike Kafka are the two other options. Young, listed No. 2 on the depth chart, didn't dress for the first two games of the season because of a hamstring strain. He was active against the Giants, but when Vick left, Kafka was called upon. Kafka threw an interception on his first throw, though, and looked shaky the rest of the way. Reid said Young wasn't 100 percent last week, but it appears likely he would be choice ahead of Kafka if Vick was held back.
