PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick took a small step toward returning from a concussion. Vick took part in a morning walkthrough on Wednesday but didn’t practice in the afternoon. There is a chance the Eagles quarterback will play against the Giants on Sunday.
“It’s hard to give you the future because you have to do things the right way and go through the process,” coach Andy Reid said.
Vick is expected to undergo further testing, including seeing an independent neurologist in the next day or two.
