NFL: Eagles QB McNabb doubtful for game with Seattle

Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb is doubtful for the Eagles' game against Seattle on Sunday after missing practice again today.

The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback has been sidelined since spraining his right ankle and injuring his thumb in a win over the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 18.

"He's working like crazy," coach Andy Reid said. "It's his lateral mobility, his ability to push off right or left and keep himself in a safe position. Until he has that, he can't go out there."

A.J. Feeley would get his second consecutive start if McNabb can't play. Feeley is coming off a strong outing in a 31-28 loss to New England in which he had career bests in completions (27) and yards passing (345) and threw for three touchdowns. But he also had three interceptions, including one that was returned for a score.

Running back Brian Westbrook returned to practice today after missing two days with a recurring knee injury. Strong safety Quintin Mikell is doubtful with a knee injury that kept him out last week.
