Vick could sit Sunday

Flowery Branch, GA (Sports Network) - Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick might get this Sunday off to rest an ailing shoulder.

The NFC South champion Falcons are already locked into the No. 2 playoff seed after a gutty 34-31 overtime win this past Saturday against Carolina and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Tuesday that Vick likely won't play against New Orleans on Sunday.

Falcons head coach Jim Mora Jr. said Monday that Vick is not seriously injured, although the quarterback did take a couple of hits against the Panthers, including one to his throwing shoulder.

"Mike's fine," said Mora at his Monday news conference. "His shoulder is sore, but nothing his structurally wrong."

Asked if he would hold some of his players back in the wake of the severe injury to Philadelphia's Terrell Owens, Mora said he would not.

"No. Play to win," Mora said.
