Vick expected to play first quarter vs. Ravens

Published: Aug 10, 2011 at 08:35 AM

Michael Vick and the rest of the starters are expected to play one quarter when the Eagles open the preseason against the Ravens on Thursday night.

Eagles coach Andy Reid has a simple rotation. He's going to play the first unit in the first quarter, the backups in the second and the third-string in the third with the rest of the players fighting for roster spots finishing up in the fourth.

Vick won't have starting wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Jackson just reported to camp on Monday after holding out. Maclin still remains sidelined by an undisclosed illness. Several others won't play, including defensive tackles Mike Patterson and Trevor Laws. Patterson had a seizure during practice last Wednesday, and was later diagnosed with a brain condition.
