In a week that has been filled with HUGE Eagles stories, the news keeps flowing into the news desks. ESPN.com is reporting that the Eagles will activate Michael Vick from the exempt list, enabling him to practice along with Jeff Garcia this week. (He is still suspended one more week from actual games) Hank Baskett will be the casualty. This goes against what Eagles officials had been saying earlier today when asked if anotehr roster move was forthcoming. The question was asked after Shawn Andrews was placed on the IR earlier today. In other news, there are whispers around the league that the Eagles would welcome a trade of Kevin Kolb in the right deal, however they are not confident that deal is out there, therefore they feel compelled to play him Sunday to see what he actually can offer this team. Whatever Dave Spadaro seems to think or write, the Eagles can not honestly feel comfortable with Kolb in there Sunday seeing as how he has played in his brief career. Granted, he has only thrown 45 pass attempts (to Garcia’s 160+ TD’s, by the way) and he is coming off a nice pre-season finale, but it was against a bunch of guys bagging groceries right now. Sorry, Kolb fans. The Eagles would dump this guy in a Philadelphia minute if they could find any kind of value for a former 2nd round pick. One more quick Vick tidbit: he is expected to practice Wednesday.
