Eagles’ Michael Vick says hamstring injury isn’t serious

The Philadelphia Eagles were able to collect their second win of the season, which along with a Dallas Cowboys’ loss put them tied for first place in the lowly NFC East. During the victory over the New York Giants, the Eagles lost starting quarterback Michael Vick to a hamstring injury. While the ailment sidelined Vick for the remainder of the game, he told reporters that the injury isn’t serious.

Vick said that he could have returned to the game if Foles got hurt. The decision to keep him sidelined was one the team’s coaches and training staff made, and the veteran quarterback agreed with it.
"Yeah, I would have gone in and just made sure I could sustain for the team," Vick said. "The coaches understood, why have me in the game when I'm not 100 percent when you have a healthy quarterback on the sideline?"
Vick grabbed at his hamstring after one of several long runs he made during yesterday’s game. He attempted to continue to play through the next series, but after being tackled by Jason Pierre-Paul he was removed from the game. Vick clearly wasn’t moving around like he normally would as the hamstring was bothering him.

For his part, Vick hopes to play next week when the Eagles take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He indicated that he’s played through an injury such as the one he’s suffering from now before, adding that the previous injury caused him to miss one week of action.
