Eagles' Michael Vick says he'll play Sunday

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, nursing a hand injury, said Wednesday as far as he's concerned he'll play Sunday against San Francisco.

"I think there's a 100 percent chance that I'll be out there this weekend," Vick said after participating in the team's morning walk-through session and before taking part in an afternoon practice.

"I just want to be there for my teammates and hold myself accountable for my responsibilities and what I have to do as a quarterback. Regardless of what I have to go through, I just want to be out there."

Vick said his swollen right hand is still painful after being hit in the Eagles' loss to the New York Giants Sunday but a scan showed there is no break as initially feared. He also suffered a concussion the week before against Atlanta.

"The most important thing this week will be to protect the ball," Vick said. "The good thing is I don't run with the ball in my right hand ... . I just have to take care of the football. Even if I have two hands that are 100 percent, you still can't turn the ball over."
