One day after being held out of practice with tender ribs, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was a full participant Thursday and was expected to play Sunday against the New York Jets.
Vick told the Eagles' official website that he's "a little sore when I throw, but I can tolerate it." He also pronounced himself as "feeling better, ready to go."
Vick watched Wednesday's practice after participating in the morning walkthrough, with coach Andy Reid also saying then that the quarterback was likely to start Sunday.
Vick was sacked four times and took several hard hits during last Sunday's 26-10 victory at Miami, his first appearance after missing the previous three games with two broken lower ribs suffered during a Nov. 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Vick's main target, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, fully practiced after being limited Wednesday by a lingering hamstring injury, and he declared to the Philadelphia Inquirer that, "I'm playing, baby."
Maclin returned last week after missing three games with hamstring and shoulder injuries, but he left the game early against the Dolphins.
Offensive tackle Todd Herremans (ankle) and defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins (groin) also fully practiced after sitting out Wednesday, but Darryl Tapp (ribs) didn't practice again.
