NFL: McNabb won't practice with Eagles today
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb will not practice today because of ankle and thumb injuries, and it's uncertain whether the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback will play for the Eagles against New England on Sunday."You want to be smart, but you want to get out there and play," McNabb said.
McNabb hurt his thumb early in Philadelphia's 17-7 win over Miami, and left the game after he sprained his right ankle in the second quarter. A.J. Feeley led the Eagles to a pair of touchdowns and would start against the Patriots if McNabb can't play.
Coach Andy Reid said McNabb's ankle swelled up Tuesday. A day earlier, it seemed the thumb injury was more of a concern.
"Right now the ankle is a little more swollen than the thumb," Reid said. "We'll take it day by day and see how he goes."
