PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick made no excuses for an awful performance, taking the blame for missing open receivers and throwing poor passes.

Perhaps two broken ribs had something to do with it.

Vick broke his two lower ribs on the second play of the Eagles' 21-17 loss to Arizona on Sunday. He didn't tell anyone that he was hurt and played through the pain.

"He didn't say anything, not a word. He's a tough nut," coach Andy Reid said Monday. "He said he really just blanked it out and played is kind of what he said, and really didn't think twice about it."

Vick's status for the next game at the New York Giants (6-3) is uncertain. He missed three games last year with a rib cartilage injury.

The Giants' Justin Tuck said Monday that he expects Vick to play.

"We'll see," the defensive end said on his weekly radio spot on WFAN. "I know Michael is a tough guy. He takes a lot of hits and he always finds a way to be out there on Sunday. It is a big game for them, I would go so far to say a do-or-die game. So I definitely expect to see him. I would be surprised if we don't see him in some capacity."

The defending NFC East champion Eagles (3-6) are going nowhere in a season that began with Super Bowl aspirations. They have now lost five games in which they led in the fourth quarter.
