Doctor says Vick's X-rays encouraging Aug. 21, 2003 SportsLine.com wire reports FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Michael Vick received a good report after Atlanta Falcons orthopedist Andrew Bishop looked at X-rays of the quarterback's broken right leg. Advertisement "Everything is the same with Mike," team spokesman Aaron Salkin said Thursday. "Nothing has changed, which is good news." Bishop indicated earlier this week that Vick likely would avoid surgery if the ligaments surrounding his ankle hold the three parts of the leg in place. Bishop described the fracture as "a clean break," which gave the Falcons hope that Vick might return as early as Oct. 5 against Minnesota. Vick met with Bishop on Wednesday for the third time since he was injured in a preseason loss to Baltimore on Saturday night. Bishop placed a fiberglass cast over the lower part of Vick's right leg Monday. The 23-year-old Vick didn't travel to Miami with the Falcons, who face the Dolphins on Friday night. Fourth-year backup Doug Johnson will start in Vick's place and is expected to play the first half. Kurt Kittner will play the second half.
