Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb didn't pass the second phase of concussion testing Wednesday, so backup Michael Vick will start this weekend against the Detroit Lions, a league source told NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi.

The Philadelphia Inquirer also reported Thursday morning that Vick will start.

It will be Vick's first start in 45 months. The last time he started a game was on Dec. 31, 2006, with the Atlanta Falcons.

In related news, Vick was named the "most hated athlete" this week by a CNBC.com report. 3 years after his dog fighting trial, and over a year since he's been released from prison. He was followed by Tiger Woods, TO, Ocho Cinco, Kobe, & LeBron. All young, all black, all rich, all successful.

He looked pretty damned good in relief last Sunday. He better be ready for the fickle Philly spotlight. Probably fortunate this is a road game if all doesn't go well.

Wonder how Detroit will bounce back from the referee ass fugging after they beet Chicago, only to have it taken away. Should be an interesting game.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be

      Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27.  They did a good job shoring up that oline.  We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.
