For the first time in 33 months, Vick took a few snaps and even showed a flash of his old dazzling style on Sunday. Vick put the finishing touches on the Philadelphia Eagles' 33-14 win over Tampa Bay, playing the final two series and shaking off a hard hit to his ribs. ``I'm just ready whenever my number gets called,'' Vick said. He heard it called late in the fourth quarter. Vick had been used in variations of th |

Bucs first-year head coach Raheem Morris is off to a rough start, and it doesn't get any easier with another road test this Sunday against the rested Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. Tampa Bay has started 0-4 for the third time since 2004 and hasn't lost its first five games of the season since 1996, when the Tony Dungy-led squad went 6-10. After three weeks of getting blown out, the Buccaneers had a |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Never mind Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick. The Philadelphia Eagles may want running backs LeSean McCoy and Brian Westbrook in the same backfield instead. ``That would put some heat on the defense,'' offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said on Thursday. ``Are they going to play base, are they going to play nickel? It would force the defense to make some choices.'' The Eagles drafted McCoy in the second round of April's draft to back up Westbrook, their star runner the better part of th |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb said on Wednesday that he will be under center for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. McNabb told the Philadelphia Daily News that he will start the game, but will be wearing protection over his cracked rib, which he broke in the season opener against Carolina. He also said that he still experiences discomfort whenever he laughs, coughs or sleeps and that he doesn't expect the injury to be fully healed for another couple of weeks. Ke |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Two of the Philadelphia Eagles' big offensive weapons - quarterback Donovan McNabb and running back Brian Westbrook - were back at practice Monday. Both players missed the 34-14 home win over the Kansas City Chiefs a week ago, but McNabb is likely to start this coming weekend's home contest against Tampa Bay. McNabb sat out his second consecutive game after fracturing a rib in the team's season-opening win over Carolina. Kevin Kolb started at quarterback and threw for 327 yards |
