During the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media,Vick was seen throwing passes to assistant coaches, jogging aroundwith teammates and participating in all the drills that the otherquarterbacks, Mike Kafka and Vince Young, participated in. The Eagles announced after practice that Vick was a fullparticipant with no restrictions. "He looked good, he looked fine," said wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who had a career-high 171 receiving yards against theFalcons. "In control of the huddle, in control of what was goingon, in control of the offense. "He's in good shape."NFC East blogESPN's Dan Graziano writes about all things NFC East in his division blog.Blog network: NFL Nation Vick's participation showed that he's been cleared by theNFL-appointed independent neurologist, required under the league's2009 concussion policy for a player to "return to footballactivities." According to that policy, a player "should not be consideredfor return-to-football activities until he is fully asymptomatic,both at rest and after exertion, has a normal neurologicalexamination, normal neuropsychological testing, and has beencleared to return by both his team physician(s) and the independentneurological consultant." With a huge media contingent watching, Vick arrived at practicein full pads and a helmet. He watched practice from the sideline onWednesday afternoon, after participating in a morning walkthrough. "He's our leader, so obviously it'll help us and give us thebest chance to win," Maclin said. "Obviously, we want him outthere."In order to help protect against future concussions, Vick is planning to refit his helmet with Kevlar padding, the CEO of Unequaled Technologies told ESPN's Sal Paolantonio on Wednesday.Rob Vito told ESPN that he will meet with Vick in Philadelphia on Friday to refit his helmet to help Vick deal with the post-concussive blows to the head in Sunday's home opener against the New York Giants. "The 100-year-old foam everybody is using in helmets is antiquated," Vito said. "Concussions are the injury of our age and really they should not be happening anymore."Vick became a spokesman for Unequaled Technologies in 2010, when the company designed a Kevlar vest for him after he suffered a rib injury against the Washington Redskins in Week 4. The Eagles (1-1) face the Giants (1-1) Sunday in their homeopener at Lincoln Financial Field. Philadelphia has won the lastsix straight in this classic NFC East rivalry. Vick threw for a pair of touchdowns in the 35-31 loss toAtlanta, but couldn't continue after getting spun by a Falconsrusher into one of his teammates, right tackle Todd Herremans. Vickwas seen on national television spitting up blood on the sideline.The Eagles said later that was caused by him biting his tongue. Vick was replaced by Kafka, as Young, who was signed to be thebackup, missed the first two games with a hamstring injury. "Not to say we don't have confidence in the other guys, we'revery confident," running back LeSean McCoy said. "But Mike Vickis Mike Vick. We're happy he's back." Giants coach Tom Coughlin, in a conference call with the mediaearlier this week, said he expected Vick to play, and that New Yorkwas not putting together a different gameplan without Vick in it. Vick has only played a full 16-game regular season once in hiscareer. He missed three games with a rib injury last year. "He's one of the great leaders on this team," offensivecoordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. "He has old-school mentality." Maclin said Vick's desire to get back on the field as quickly aspossible after a fairly serious injury shows what kind of leader heis. "That's what you want out of your quarterback," Maclin said."You want him to want to be out there, you want him to puteverything on his shoulders, and he wants to be the guy to take uswhere we want to go. "We're going to rally behind him, and we definitely want himout there."
