“There’s no cause to think that I will not perform on Sunday,” Vick said. “I’ve had two great days of apply. I’m optimistic I’ll have the ability to go out there and very thrilled to play.”

Eagles coach Andy Reid said that barring a setback, Vick will begin in opposition to the group which has misplaced to Philadelphia six straight times.
“If he’s Okay on sport day,” Reid said, “then he plays on game day.”

After missing apply on Wednesday, Vick was cleared Thursday early morning by an impartial, NFL-appointed neurosurgeon to resume all football-related actions, under phrases of the NFL’s 2009 concussion policy.

He said Vick isn't scheduled to endure any extra tests or health-related evaluations but will likely meet with team physician Dr. Gary Dorshimer Sunday prior to kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field just as a precaution.

Reid stated Vick has been good in meetings and practice and proven no unwell results with the concussion.

“I’ll tell you, he’s been sharp,” he stated. “That’s the best way I can sum it up. He’s carried out a very good job in controlling everything. He’s done good.”

Burkholder said he and also the coaching staff will carry on to help keep a really close eye on Vick more than the following two days, to create certain he doesn’t encounter any setbacks or start to show any symptoms of the damage.

“He’s practiced twice, he’s lifted with our power coach, he’s done rehabilitation with me, he’s been in meetings using the offensive staff,” Burkholder stated. “Everything has gone as planned.

“I think at this point within the process we’re very far along. But it’s still an ongoing procedure, so we've tonight to determine whether or not any signs and symptoms arrive up and how he does with his sleep and the way he does (Saturday) early morning. He’s received a walkthrough (Saturday), after which we’ll go through our pregame procedure and carry on to communicate.”

“I really feel good,” Vick said. “I feel fantastic and ready to play. Absolutely nothing feels different. I feel like I’ve worked myself back into good condition and enjoying form and I’m ready to go.”

Vick said regardless of his injury-and a rib damage last year in opposition to the Redskins that price him 31/2 games-he will not perform soccer any in a different way than he usually has.

Which means if he desires to operate, he’ll operate.

“You know, I haven’t even thought about obtaining hit,” he stated. “I perform this sport to win, not considering the consequences of staying in the pocket or operating or not or obtaining hit when I run with the football. So, I believe you just need to play with self-confidence rather than attempt to worry about this and place it in the back of one's thoughts and allow issues perform out for itself.”
