McNabb updates condition

Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb gave an update on his condition this afternoon through the team's media relations department, but could not say if he thought he'd be ready to play Sunday against Kansas City. He, of course, sat out Sunday's loss to New Orleans with a fractured rib.

"I wish I had an answer, but I don't," he said.  "I feel pretty good, better than last Monday. It's one day at a time. I think there is a process that is going on, and the progression makes you feel confident that things are going to be better. Hopefully, it will be quicker than later. I'm looking forward to being back out on the field."

no reason for him to play before the bye - if they cant beat KC with Kolb, he (Kolb) doesnt belong on this team.

Agree with sore richard. Come back after the bye week. Eagles 2-1.

Yeah, the Saints game would've easily been 48-25 instead of 22 if McNabb was playing! Kolb made a few mistakes, McNabb always makes a few mistakes. Neither plays defense or special teams unfortunately.

Get back Donavan, Im dying to compare your stats with Kolbs. Maybe you will surprise me and throw for more yards and TDS than Kolb but somehow I I don't think you will. I can't wait I hope its next week. In any case enjoy your last year with the Eagles if you fail again (and Im sure you will) you will be traded before the season ends.

If Andy Reid would play Vick then i would agree with most and say see you after the bye, but since he already said Kolb will play if McNabb can't then i say don your flak jacket Donovan! We can't win with Kolb, and this is not his year to learn/rebuild. Every loss puts further away from the playoffs. Did anyone see the Dallas Giants game lastnight?

Why is it everywhere you go on the net the people that post comments are always the angriest people you'll ever read a comment from?

The 45-year-old Brookover lives in Delran with his wife Francine and roots for Notre Dame and Michigan State, the two schools attended by his children, Justine and Ryan. When Notre Dame plays Michigan State, he cheers for the school of the child he likes more at that particular moment.

Jeff McLane, right, joined the Eagles beat in April 2009 after two years of covering colleges, namely Penn State football. Before that he covered high school sports for The Inquirer. Before that he worked in the mailroom (not quite). Informed that his father is no longer covering the Lions, McLane's eldest, three-year-old son said, "You mean Simba, Scar and Mufasa, Daddy?" His two-year-old son -- excited about the move to the Eagles -- said, "Go, Deigo, Go!" or something like that. His wife of five-plus years, however, had a different take on the new job. "Another five years is in question," she said. Check out McLane on Twitter and Facebook for instant updates on the Eagles.
