McNabb was not happy with the way Vick was used

Earlier reports said that the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Donovan McNabb was the one who initiated signing of Michael Vick. But after Thursday’s preseason game, there were reports that McNabb was not all that pleased with Vick’s playing.

Thursday night’s game was Vick’s Eagles debut and reports said that his playing interrupted the offense McNabb led. McNabb was seen unhappily discussing with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhigweg. He appeared to be telling Morningweg the Vick plays were disrupting the offense's rhythm and momentum. Seemingly to prove it, the offense moved much better under McNabb’s control after Vick left the field.

Eagles coach Andy Reid downplayed the speculation and Mornhinweg declined to comment when he was asked by reporters about the discussion with McNabb. But quite a few players confirmed that the starting quarterback was unhappy.

Michael Vick was set to make his preseason debut Thursday

On Thursday, in the exhibition game the Philadelphia Eagles playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the star quarterback Michael Vick will play his first preseason game after putting on eagles jersey.

Eagles head coach Andy Reid announced his decision Tuesday about Vick playing in their third pre-season game, but did not elaborate on how much Vick would play.

"Michael will have an opportunity to play Thursday," said Reid. "It's been two years, we'll see how it works out. We'll see what he can do. He wants to get in. He's kind of set this as a goal and so did we. I think he's excited to get out there."

After spending 19 months in an American prison after pleading guilty in August 2007 to federal dog-fighting charges, Vick needs to do a lot of things to prove his ability and self-examination of his behavior.

Packers GM does not rule Michael Vick out

Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson said on Tuesday that the team will not rule out the scandal-tainted quarterback Michael Vick. But since Thompson is notoriously coy about the team's plans, it is still hard to judge from his comments whether the team have a sincere and significant level of interest in giving Vick chance of wearing packers jersey.

"What is the answer that we give to questions like this? We're always looking to improve our team," Thompson said. "We look at all options at all times. I wouldn't care to speculate in terms of the odds or the percentages (of signing Vick) or anything like that."

Thompson admitted that Vick is in unique situation but the team will just evaluate him in the same routine of evaluting other players. No matter whether the Packers are really interested in Vick, they are the first team showing such stance in public after Vick was conditionally reinstated to the NFL.
