It doesn't come as a huge surprise, but Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington though he's healthy enough to play.
LeSean McCoy, however, will play now that he's healthy enough. McCoy hasn't played since Week 11 against the Redskins, when he sustained a concussion.
Bryce Brown has had some nice games filling in for McCoy, though the rookie struggled to get rolling in the last two weeks -- rushing for just 40 yards on 28 carries. Expect him to take a few of McCoy's carries. It could even be a significant amount for Brown; Brian Westbrook called into "Fantasy Football Today" (watch it here!) on Sunday and said he thinks McCoy will be "limited."
Interesting. Calling in from Philadelphia, @36westbrook said on #FantasyFootball Today thinks LeSean McCoy's work will be limited today.

If Brown had continued his rushing pace after his first two weeks, it could lead to an awkward situation for McCoy.
Instead, the only awkwardness is involved in the quarterback position. This could be Vick's final game in Philly as a member of the Eagles, and he's healthy enough to play but is simply not going to get any burn.
And it's a little odd. Nick Foles is the Eagles' starter, obviously. But Andy Reid, in what could be his home swan song, is going with Trent Edwards instead of Vick as his backup.
Relegating Vick to this sort of not-even-mop-up duty is about as clear a sign as you can have that he's headed elsewhere in 2013. Foles is the future, and Vick is just a guy who's holding a clipboard the rest of the year regardless of his mammoth contract.
