On Monday afternoon, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly said he was ‘hopeful’ Michael Vick would be ready to return after their Week 12 bye.

Vick himself said on Tuesday that shouldn’t be any problem as he expects to be ‘completely healthy’ after the week off:

"Michael Vick said that he didn’t do everything today at practice. Expects to be completely healthy by Cards game. Had flight to catch."

As mentioned above, the Eagles will host the Arizona Cardinals though who will be under center that week remains up in the air.

Foles has played like a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback in Vick’s absence, though, it’s not often you see a player (let alone a quarterback of Vick’s stature) lose their job due to injury. Kelly for what it’s worth, said he would sit down with both Foles and Vick and talk about the situation and determine his starting quarterback going forward.

So how say you, Eagles fans? Should Vick reclaim his starting job? Or is it Foles’ to keep?
