According to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio, Michael Vick has been cleared to return to football by a third-party neurologist and the Philadelphia Eagles' training staff after suffering from a concussion during the Falcons game in Atlanta. The sources suggest that Vick will participate in Sunday's game against the Giants, despite only four days passing since the injury occurred. However, it is important to note that under the 2009 concussion policy of the NFL, players can only resume playing football if they have fully recovered from their symptoms following rest and exertion-based activities.
After undergoing a normal neurological exam and neuropsychological testing, both the independent neurologist and team physician cleared Vick. He participated in drills during Thursday's media-open practice, wearing full gear alongside quarterbacks Vince Young and Mike Kafka, jogging around with teammates, and t
...hrowing passes to assistant coaches. Despite having watched from the sidelines the previous day, Vick faced no restrictions and was declared a full player by the Eagles after practice.
According to Jeremy Maclin, wide receiver for the Eagles, Michael Vick appeared to be in control during the game. Maclin holds a personal record of 171 receiving yards against the Falcons. He stated that Vick is the team's leader, and his presence will undoubtedly improve their chances of winning. In an effort to prevent future head injuries, Unequaled Technologies CEO Rob Vito revealed that Vick intends to have his helmet refitted with Kevlar padding. On Friday, Vito will meet with Vick to refit his helmet and assist him in dealing with post-concussion symptoms after their home opener game against the New York Giants on Sunday. Vito criticized the foam in helmets as "antiquated" and "100-year-old."
In 2010,
Unequaled Technologies teamed up with Vick to promote their Kevlar vest technology after he sustained a rib injury during a game against the Washington Redskins. Vick stressed the importance of preventing concussions. This Sunday, the Eagles (1-1) will face off against the Giants (1-1) at Lincoln Financial Field for their home opener. It is notable that Philadelphia has emerged victorious in the last six games of this NFC East rivalry.
During the game with the Falcons, Vick managed to score two touchdowns but had to exit after sustaining a hit from one of the opposing players and colliding with his teammate Herremans. National television aired the incident which showed Vick sitting on the sideline coughing up blood. However, the Eagles made it clear that this was due to him biting his tongue.
