McNabb injures rib in Week 1

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Donovan McNabb was walking gingerly to the locker room with a cracked rib about the same time Jake Delhomme was mercifully yanked after his fifth turnover.

It was the third quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 38-10 rout of the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and both franchises suddenly had big worries about their veteran quarterbacks. One was injured two weeks before Michael Vick is eligible to return, the other can’t seem to throw it to the right team anymore.

With Delhomme increasing his two-game turnover total to 11, the Eagles’ dominating defensive performance in their second straight season-opening rout was tempered by concerns about McNabb, who was crunched by several tacklers on a 3-yard touchdown run.

“He’s sore right now. He’s got a broken rib,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. “We’ll just see how he does over the next little bit.”

With the suspended Vick watching from a luxury suite, Kevin Kolb finished at quarterback as the Eagles ran out the clock on a miserable day for the Panthers.

Reid wouldn’t rule out McNabb, who did not speak to reporters, from playing next week against New Orleans.

“Don is very resilient,” said running back Brian Westbrook, who caught one of McNabb’s two touchdown passes. “He heals fast.”

McNabb finished the day with 3 TDs and an INT. 80.6 QB rating.

Nah, I forgot the Giants got knocked out of the playoffs last year by McNabb part AT HOME. Eli looked pretty putrid that game without his stud to bail him out. LMAO. If they were smart, they'd get them a black QB too.

you really want to talk about the past?

I just hope mcnabb is out for more then 1 week because i wish bad things on any eagles qb.
