Michael Vick has been diagnosed with a rib contusion after an MRI and CT scan of his rib area revealed no broken bones and no broken cartilage, the Philadelphia Eagles' official Twitter account announced Tuesday.
Vick left Monday night's preseason game against the New England Patriots after he was hit by defensive end Jermaine Cunningham while throwing an incomplete pass. Vick stayed down for a few moments and was favoring his left side.
