NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Receiver Kenny Britt said his sore right hamstring is feeling better, and he expects to play Sunday against the Broncos after making it through a second straight day with a full practice.
“It’s feeling better today, better than (Thursday), and I’m happy about that,” Britt said Friday.
Britt and running back Chris Johnson, who sat out Wednesday with sore ribs, have worked the past two days.
Receiver Damian Williams (hamstring) is questionable after practicing a second straight day, while safety Chris Hope (shoulder) was limited and is also questionable.
Coach Mike Munchak indicated Hope is the most likely of the four to miss Sunday’s game. If Hope can’t play, Jordan Babineaux would start for the second straight week.
Vick practices, ready for Giants
PHILADELPHIA — Eagles quarterback Michael Vick practiced for a second consecutive day and pronounced himself ready to play against the Giants (1-1) in the Eagles’ home opener Sunday, seven days after he left a game against the Falcons with a concussion.
“There’s no reason to think that I won’t play on Sunday,” Vick said. “I’ve had two good days of practice. I’m optimistic I’ll be able to go out there and very excited to play.”
Eagles coach Andy Reid said that barring a setback, Vick will start against the team that has lost to Philadelphia six straight times.
