McNabb updates condition
options
 

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.

    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.

    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?

    Funny people keep blaming kolb for that game. He threw 1 pic when the game was close. Special teams and lose secondary play lost that game for us
