The Philadelphia Eagles won't have either quarterback Michael Vick or running back LeSean McCoy when they host the Carolina Panthers on Monday, as both have been declared out for the game with concussions.
Vick will miss a second consecutive contest after failing to receive clearance from his injury, which the veteran signal-caller suffered during the first half of Philadelphia's 38-23 loss to Dallas on Nov. 11. McCoy was knocked out of last Sunday's 31-6 setback at Washington late in the fourth quarter after absorbing a helmet-to-helmet hit from a Redskins defender.
The Eagles have also ruled out slot receiver Jason Avant for Monday's clash after he injured his hamstring in the Washington game. Source: Sports Network Attached Thumbnails
