After 33 Months, Michael Vick Plays Again

PETA is not pleased. Honestly, they have not been pleased since the Philadelphia Eagles signed Michael Vick, but as of today, he's back playing in the NFL.

The opening for Michael Vick came at the expense of Donovan McNabb, who was earlier injured. While the Eagles started Kevin Kolb in his second straight start, this was the first game Vick could play in.

Last week Kolb made his first NFL start, against the Saints, throwing for 391 yards, and two touchdowns. He also threw three interceptions, however.

Michael Vick isn't taking the starting QB job away from Kolb just yet, however. So far today, he's been a non-factor.

Michael Vick was inserted as a WR for the Eagles' second play from scrimmage. He had a handoff faked to him and then watched as RB LeSean McCoy lost a yard.

Michael Vick returned again in the Eagles' second offensive series. He ran the option, keeping the ball for a 7-yard gain. He also attempted his first pass from the Chiefs 5, but it fell incomplete. McCoy scored on the next play as the Eagles took a 7-0 lead.

The Eagles lead Kansas City 27-7 at the time of this writing, in the third quarter. Michael Vick is 0-2 passing.


You may recall the reason for Michael Vicks hiatus from pro football. He was convicted on dogfighting charges and spent 18 months in prison.
