Eagles won't rule out injured QB McNabb

Sep 17, 2009

The Eagles are holding out hope that quarterback Donovan Mcnabb might be able to play in their home opener against the New Orleans Saints.
Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Morninweg said before Thursday's practice that McNabb has been "working hard" and "doing everything in his power to get back out there."
McNabb fractured a rib on a touchdown run late in the Eagles' 38-10 win over Carolina last Sunday. He was on the practice field for the team's walkthrough Thursday morning, but did not partake in it.
If McNabb does not play Sunday, third-year quarterback Kevin Kolb would make his first NFL start. Kolb was the team's second-round draft pick in 2007.
Veteran quarterback Jeff Garcia, signed Tuesday, would be the back up.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
