"Neither Michael Vick (ribs) nor DeSean Jackson (foot) practiced Wednesday as the Eagles prepare to face the Patriots Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Jeremy Maclin (shoulder, hamstring) returned to practice and was a limited participant.

Head coach Andy Reid said Vick tested the ribs by throwing a little bit on Tuesday and is expected to do so again Wednesday.

"It's getting better. It's just not there yet," Reid said Wednesday. "He didn't do much. He can still feel it."

Vick's status for Sunday is uncertain."
