Former NBA player Orlando Woolridge arrested for theft
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Michael Vick, who hasn't started an NFL game since 2006, will be Philadelphia's starting quarterback against Detroit, Eagles Coach Andy Reid said Friday.
The 30-year-old Vick will start in place of Kevin Kolb, who suffered a concussion in a 27-20 loss to Green Bay.
The start in Detroit Sunday will be Vick's first in the NFL since Dec. 31, 2006, when he played for the Atlanta Falcons.
Vick replaced the injured Kolb in the Sunday game against the Packers and completed 16-of-24 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 103 yards.
The Eagles signed Vick to a two-year contract last year. He had missed the previous two seasons while serving an 18-month prison term for his involvement in a dogfighting ring.
