Falcons QB Vick limited in practice

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (Oct. 7) -- Atlanta quarterback Michael Vick was limited during practice Oct. 7 but is still listed as probable for the Falcons' game against New England.

Backup Matt Schaub took nearly all the snaps during the workout, while Vick was limited mainly to running and agility drills. He missed practice Oct. 5 and Oct. 6. - NFL Football -

Vick sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee during a 30-10 victory over Minnesota on Oct. 2. Schaub played the final 2½ quarters for the Falcons (3-1).

While Vick has been wearing a brace, he expressed hope Oct. 6 that his knee will be healthy enough for him to play against the defending Super Bowl champions. - NFL Football -

"Yeah, it's getting better, and the only way I can tell that is when I go out there and try to do some things on it," he said. - NFL Football -
