PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Quarterback Michael Vick and running back LeSean McCoy will not play Sunday, when the Philadelphia Eagles meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-6).
In an expected announcement, Eagles athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said Friday that neither has been cleared to return to football activity after suffering concussions last month.
Burkholder sent McCoy to Pittsburgh to be examined by the University of Pittsburgh's concussion specialists because he "just didn't like the way things were adding up. I didn't like how he was getting symptoms at night and not during the day."
He said those tests yielded nothing alarming but did convince Burkholder to change McCoy's rehabilitation protocol.
Burkholder said Vick is improving in his physical rehabilitation but is "in kind of a stagnant phase" with his testing.
The Eagles (3-9) are in last place in the NFC East.
