Reid: Eagles QB Vick will start game vs. Colts after bye week

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid is switching quarterbacks again, saying Sunday that Michael Vick will start Nov. 7 against the Indianapolis Colts in the next game after the team's bye week.

Kevin Kolb made his third consecutive start Sunday, and the Eagles lost 37-19 to the Tennessee Titans. Kolb threw for 231 yards and had two passes intercepted. He also lost a fumble at the Tennessee 3-yard line in the third quarter.

Vick was Philadelphia's No. 3 quarterback against Tennessee as he recovered from injured rib cartilage.

Reid said after the loss that Vick would be his starter coming out of the bye.

Kolb began the season as the Eagles' starter after they traded Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. But Kolb suffered a concussion in the opener, and Vick played so well in his place that he remained the starter when Kolb returned. Then Vick was hurt himself.
