It’s official. Michael Vick is now a full-fledged member of the Philadelphia Eagles (complete with practice privileges). Michael was removed from the Eagles’ exempt list today and added him to their 53-man roster. To make room on the team, receiver Hank Baskett was released. Keep in mind that while Michael is eligible to participate when the team resumes practice tomorrow, he is not eligible to play in a game until Week 3 when the Eagles host the Kansas City Chiefs.

What’s even more interesting about Michael’s return is the state of the quarterback situation in Philly. Starter Donovan McNabb is nursing a broken rib and the team signed Jeff Garcia as a backup. With Kevin Kolb expected to start this weekend against New Orleans, there’s plenty of ammo for a full blown quarterback controversy before too long.
