A source close to the Eagles tells Derrick Gunn that Donovan McNabb could miss 2-4 weeks with cracked ribs. This isn’t surprising. I’d have been shocked if he didn’t miss a start with fractured ribs. From what I hear, it hurts to even breathe with broken ribs.
I don’t see why they wouldn’t look to add Jeff Garcia, who was cut from the Raiders not too long ago. I just don’t see what Kevin Kolb is bringing to the table and you don’t want to put yourself in a hole to start the season.
Donovan needs to rest and they need a viable backup option (not Kolb, Vick or Kolb/Vick combo) to hold the fort down until he can come back.
