Michael Vick tries again to beat Donovan McNabb and Redskins Monday night
Michael Vick was injured the last time the Eagles and Redskins met. But now, Michael Vick is healthy again and has the Eagles flying high.

The last time Michael Vick played the Redskins, he wasn't able to finish what he started. Vick was injured at the end of a long run and did not return in a 17-12 Washington victory over Philadelphia.

Now, six weeks later, Vick has recovered and returned to the starting quarterback role for the Eagles. Last week, he led Philadelphia to a 26-24 victory over the Colts.
On the other side, former Eagles and now Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb is coming off a benching at the end of Washington's 37-25 loss to the Lions two weeks ago. Questions still remain about McNabb's fitness for this Monday night rematch with the Eagles.
Philadelphia is 5-3, while the Redskins are 4-4. Both teams are trying to stay close to the Giants, who lead the NFC East with a 6-2 mark. The Eagles and Redskins will play at FedEx Field Monday evening.
