Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia Eagles Coach Andy Reid says there's a "pretty good chance" Vick will start for the injured Nick Foles this Sunday.

Vick insists that his career direction next year does not hang on this game, saying his resume speaks for itself.

"I'm not going out to audition for a job. I'm going out to try and win," Vick told USA Today Sports Monday. "My play and what I've done for this league and the accolades that I have speak for themselves."

He said that he wants to improve and be the guy who makes a team better, wherever he lands.

Vick learned Monday that Foles broke a bone in his throwing hand during a 27-20 loss to the Washington Redskins.

Prior to his Nov. 11 concussion, Vick passed for 2,165 yards, 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions as the Eagles (4-11) dropped to 3-6 with five losses in a row.

Vick is likely to be released at the conclusion of the season.

Since Vick became the starter in 2010, his play has steadily regressed, and he continues to miss games with various injuries, many of them related to his penchant for running the football. He signed a $100 million contract in 2011 scheduled to run through 2017.
