Rookie Nick Foles will start in place of Michael Vick at quarterback Sunday for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Vick suffered what coach Andy Reid described as a “significant” concussion last week and was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins, according to multiple reports Friday. Vick hasn’t practiced with the team this week.
Foles, a third-round pick from Arizona, will make his first NFL start. He replaced Vick last Sunday when the injury and completed 22 of 32 passes for 219 yards, a touchdown and an interception against the Dallas Cowboys.
