Michael Vick will return to the starting lineup for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday against the New York Giants.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Tuesday that Vick was set to return following a two-game absence with a hamstring injury. Vick left the Oct. 6 game against the Giants only to see backup Nick Foles rally Philadelphia for a victory in the fourth quarter. Foles also guided the Eagles to a win Week 6 at Tampa Bay, but left last week’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys with a concussion.

Vick was sacked 14 times in the first four games, and 28 times in his past 12 games.

The Eagles (3-4) last swept the Giants in the regular season in 2010.
