IS STOCKPILING DEFENSEMEN
Donovan McNabb declined to speak with reporters today following his first practice in weeks, but the Eagles quarterback did find the time to sit down with Dave Spadaro of PhiladelphiaEagles.com (insert joke here).
"I feel pretty good," McNabb said, according to the Eagles' Web site. "After the bye week, I was able to do a lot of different things in practice as well as preparing for the game."
McNabb, who missed the last two games with a fractured rib, was not asked if he plans on playing Sunday against Tampa Bay, although all signs point to his playing. He did, however, talk about how exciting it was to get back out on the field (Yeah!) and how he was able to work up a good shaving cream.
"It was very exciting," he said. "I had an opportunity to move around a little bit, get a good sweat, a good lather, and look forward to progressing throughout the week.
"The key for me is to get that timing back to where we had it in training camp as well as in preseason. I think also for me to be able to recognize different things and be able to answer the question to what the defense is trying to display to us. And I think as an offense, we have to keep this thing rolling."
McNabb meets with the non-Spadaros on Wednesday.
