Eagles backup quarterback Michael Vick is expected to play the first half tonight.

The Eagles face the Jets tonight at 7:30 in the final pre-season game for both teams. No opening day starters are expected to play, as Mike Vick will take the helm for the Eagles second-string offense in the first half. Mike Kafka is expected to play the entire second half with the third-string.

On the Jets side, Santonio Holmes is scheduled to play three quarters, since he will miss the first four games of the season with a suspension. New York head coach Rex Ryan is only playing 36 players in tonight’s game.

The Eagles come into the game at 2-1 in exhibitions this season, while the Jets are 1-2. Vick still searches for his first touchdown pass of the pre-season, as neither he nor starter Kevin Kolb have found the end zone through the air.
