Reid conceded that neither Kolb nor Bradley fully passed concussion testing yesterday, 3 days after their injuries, and they were not cleared to sit in on meetings, where the game plan was discussed. Reid seemed to feel they might be cleared for the meetings today, but it doesn't seem either could practice before tomorrow. It would seem particularly unlikely that an inexperienced quarterback who missed almost all the preparation would then start a game; if the Eagles craft a game plan around Vick, a lefthanded, extremely mobile quarterback, it would be hard to utilize that game plan with Kolb.
Then there's the matter of the controversy that has developed from the Eagles' decision to let both players return briefly to last Sunday's season-opening loss to Green Bay, after their injuries. The team might want to err on the side of caution going forward.
The Eagles said Bradley and Kolb were able to exercise lightly yesterday without incurring symptoms, at least right away.
Does Reid feel the team should have done anything differently Sunday?
"We obviously go back and look at everything," Reid said. "I feel very comfortable that we followed the protocol that was set forth. I will tell you that the most important thing that happened was that Rick followed up on it. He didn't just base it off of that first initial evaluation. He came back and he checked on the players to see if they had any symptoms, and then the second time he checked, they did, and he made the move right there."
Reid said he wouldn't "get into" what changes the Eagles might make in their evaluation process.
"Obviously, we're evaluating the situation," he said.
Reid said Vick would take "every snap today, and the way it looks, he'll have every snap tomorrow. We'll take Friday as it comes."
So where does this leave the 0-1 Eagles?
