Vick Update Looking Good
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Michael Vick will be in uniform for the first time this season Sunday, standing by as the Atlanta Falcons' backup quarterback at Houston.
The Pro Bowl QB, sidelined since breaking his right leg in preseason, practiced for the second straight day on Thursday.
During a two-hour workout, Vick rolled out on pass plays after working exclusively in the pocket Wednesday. He also stopped, started and took cuts.
"It felt pretty good," Vick said. "I'll just keep taking it day by day and see how it feels tomorrow. I am making progress."
Doug Johnson will start Sunday when the Falcons (2-9) visit Houston (4-7), but Vick will be available.
"He will definitely be the No. 2 quarterback unless there are any setbacks tomorrow," coach Dan Reeves said. "He was able to move around and scramble. I was surprised by how well he looked, especially compared to where he was last week."
And just a note on my reports from Flowery Branch. Yes. I do have reporters stationed in Flowery Branch. So. ¶ 11/28/2003 02:05:00 AM
