Michael Vick Injury

Michael Vick Injury: Michael Vick suffers concussion. Michael Vick's return to Atlanta began with a midfield embrace with current Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.
It ended with Vick in the locker room feeling the effects of a concussion he suffered in the third quarter of the Eagles' 35-31 loss Sunday night. Vick threw for a pair of touchdowns for the Eagles (1-1) but left with what coach Andy Reid later described as a concussion after getting spun by a Falcons rusher into Eagles lineman Todd Herremans. No. 7 staggered to the sideline and appeared to spit out blood coming off the field.

Marlene Hagge had previously been the youngest champion on tour, winning the Sarasota Open in 1952 aged 18.
"I knew I was going for the record but I was focusing on the golf course and doing my best," Thompson said.
"I was nervous on the first tee but I had a lot of fun out here."
