MRI reportedly clear for Falcons' Vick

With no damage in throwing shoulder, QB cleared to play

An MRI on Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's throwing shoulder showed no damage, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported this week.

The quarterback suffered an injury to his left shoulder last season against the Carolina Panthers, Falcons coach Jim Mora said, the newspaper reported. Vick had been suffering soreness in the shoulder, which led to the MRI, Sports Illustrated reported.

Vick has shown no signs of discomfort during offseason workouts or minicamps, Mora said, the newspaper reported.
