Vick fell awkwardly after first-quarter tackle

ESPN.com news services

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick fractured his right fibula and was taken off the field on a cart Saturday night during an exhibition game against Baltimore, ESPN has learned.

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports that according to his sources, Vick is likely to be out at least six weeks with his fractured fibula.

Vick was chased out of the pocket on a third-down play late in the first quarter and was tackled by Adalius Thomas. Vick fell awkwardly on his right leg, and grabbed it even before he fell all the way to the ground.

Thomas, after briefly celebrating the tackle, came back over to check on Vick, and several of Vick's teammates also kneeled over him. When it was apparent that he was hurt, a hush came over the crowd at the Georgia Dome.

After he was looked at by the medical staff for about five minutes, Vick got up with some help and limped a couple of steps to the cart. He was wheeled to the locker room amid a standing ovation.

X-rays were taken, but the results weren't immediately known.

Vick got off to a rough start against the Ravens, getting sacked on the first play and throwing an interception on the next one. He finished 0-for-4, and rushed for 8 yards.

He made the Pro Bowl last season in his first full season as a starter and set three NFL records for rushing by a quarterback.

Doug Johnson? Ha! Everyone knows that Florida QBs don't do squat in the NFL....

Seriously though... Doug Johnson in Atlanta impresses folks and Jesse Palmer for the Giants as well. Unfortunately they were both behind solid #1 guys. Until now ...

Exactly!

Wuerffel evidently looked poor in the last practices before camp broke, I wonder what his status is.

Spurrier has to at least let Hamdan play a quarter or two this week or next to legitimate making the selection in the draft.

Remember Hamdan is the reason the Skins didn't take Andy Groom in Round 7.

so, we are suffering at another spot, punter, because of a 'feel good' pick.

let's see what that pick brought us.
