The Philadelphia Eagles lost quarterback Michael Vick on Sunday after he suffered a serious hamstring injury vs the New York Giants that will likely sideline him for the next month or so after Vick admitted h e heard a “pop” sound when he strained the hamstring.

For the meantime, Matt Barkley is the starter until Nick Foles is able to return, which may be surprisingly soon as he recovers from a concussion:

..HC Chip Kelly had said on monday @mikevick didn't think he was not going to be ready to play Sunday. Will Vick start again this year?

It’s two weeks without an offensive touchdown and counting in Philly, and things only got worse Sunday afternoon on their home field after a 15-7 Eagles loss to a last-place New York Giants.

With the Oakland Raiders up next, things aren’t about to get any easier.
