Michael Vick Bruised Not Broken

Philadelphia Eagles Michael Vick is listed as day-to-day with a bruised hand, Andy Reid said Monday.

Initial reports said Vick suffered a broken right hand, but Reid indicated a blood vessel in an early scan made it look as if there was a fracture.

Michael Vick thinks he is being hit late every week by opponents, but that referees are not calling penalties when they are warranted.

Vick was injured when he was hit by defensive tackle Chris Canty after completing a pass to Jeremy Maclin in the third quarter. Vick, thought Canty’s hit should have been a penalty.




Michael Vick:

“I felt like I got hit late—there’s no flag, broke my hand. I was trying to protect myself. Didn’t get a flag. That’s pretty much been the story the last three weeks. Obviously at some point, something catastrophic is going to happen.”

“I just think more protection should be taken when I’m inside the pocket. You look at all the replays … I’m on the ground every time. I’d be lying if I sat here and said I wasn’t frustrated right now.”

Asked if he felt he was not getting calls that other quarterbacks get, Vick said, “Absolutely. The refs got to do their jobs as well.”
Former NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira:

"Doesn’t get the flags like everybody else? That’s bull. The rules are no different for Michael Vick than they are for anybody else. These complaints are not new. Vick—and the Eagles—have complained ever since he returned to the NFL in 2009.”

"He is a talented scrambling quarterback. In fact, there isn’t another quarterback like him. He’s constantly on the move and he is going to end up on the ground sometimes. But just because he’s on the ground, it does not mean he was hit late. “

"The officials have a tough enough job as it is, being second-guessed all the time. The last thing they need is unwarranted criticism."
