ATLANTA -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has left the game against the Atlanta Falcons with a neck injury after being slammed into one of his own linemen late in the third quarter.
After letting go of a pass Sunday night, Vick was spun around by an Atlanta defender and slammed into right tackle Todd Herremans. The quarterback got up slowly and wobbled to the sideline, where the trainers worked on his right shoulder and neck. He also appeared to spit out blood coming off the field.
Mike Kafka took over for Vick and finished a touchdown drive that gave Philadelphia a 31-21 lead. After the Eagles scored, Vick walked to the locker room for observation.

The man has major amends to make to the canine world.
Vick never should’ve been allowed back into the league.
I do not like this man one damn bit, however, I hope he recovers.
I was watching that game. As he left he pointed to the score or something anyone else see that?
This man represents a “hero” to many youth even though he is a sociopath. While I certainly don’t celebrate his injury, the sooner he reaps what he sewed, the better place the world will be.
NBC Sports announcer Al Michaels reported at the end of tonight’s game, which the Eagles lost to the Falcons 35-31, that Vick’s injury is a concussion.
As my bf just said “Did a dog get ahold of his throat? That’s the neck injury I want to see”.
They said he was also spitting up blood. As much as I dislike the guy I hope it’s nothing major.
Speaks for itself.
I dislike him intensely but he took his punishment....I don’t wish him any harm except not to win any more games....

He needs to walk around with a very heavy chain on his neck to strengthen those neck muscles...
Speak for yourself. If he got hit by a mac truck I’d throw candy and ululate like a Palestinian. I hate this man thoroughly and I wish him all manner of misery.
The article has been updated and says he has a concussion.
If he dropped dead tomorrow, I could care less. Really. Him and abunch of others. Really.
Vick has a lot of debts to pay. My better half can’t stand him. Back when Vick was at VaTech, the coaching staff knew that he was in all kinds of trouble and seem to cover for him and cover for him just so they could win until they could not cover for him any longer. Even the fans were guilty of covering for him to win. They could have offered help to him sooner -all they wanted to do was win. I believe in rebuilding one’s self. I don’t like what is happening in sports. At times, they build up some of the worse players as role models. I hope he will be ok/don’t wish ill harm on anyone.
Some genuine remorse would include giving the majority of his contract to help suffering animals.
