PHILADELPHIA -- With a swarm of reporters surrounding backup quarterback Nick Foles, Michael Vick saw an opening and took off.

Injured ribs didn't affect Vick's escapability in the locker room.

Still, the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback stopped to say he is "doing good, feeling better," and there is no doubt he will be ready when the Philadelphia Eagles visit the Cleveland Browns in Week 1.

Vick didn't practice Wednesday after bruising his ribs during a win at New England on Monday, and Eagles coach Andy Reid said he probably won't play the rest of the preseason. Foles, the rookie third-round pick, will start in his place Friday night at the Browns.

"That was a pretty good shot he took," Reid said of the hit that knocked Vick out of the game against the Patriots after just six plays. "It was in a soft spot, and a good shot he took."

Vick is just 4 for 7 for 11 yards and has been on the field for only 12 plays in the first two preseason games. If he doesn't play again, he could be rusty for the season opener.

"Would I like him to have some more reps? Would he like more reps? Yeah, I'm sure both of us would like him to have more reps, but you bank on his maturity and experience to get him through a situation like this," Reid said. "So, that's what we'll do."

Vick's teammates aren't worried about it, either.

"I don't think that's a concern at all," wide receiver Jeremy Maclin said. "We've been around him long enough, we had all those OTA reps."
