Donovan McNabb Works out Early??

Monday was a really big day for Eagles fans, and a Bigger one for their "embattled" starting QB Donovan McNabb.
After individual drills, it was expected that McNabb would return to the trainers table.

Surprise surprise! There is Old #5 in a red practice jersey taking snaps from center and moving around on the knee a bit. Seems the doctors felt he was further along then expected, and even though his status is still "Day to Day" for the rest of the Mandatory Mini Camp, Donovan wanted the shot to see how his knee and leg felt. " It was good to get back out there with the guys" Donovan said. "It's just part of the rehab process." After he took about 20 snaps, he headed back inside to the ice tub. McNabb worked very hard this off season after another disapointing injury ended his season early for the third out of five seasons.

It looks as if McNabb will be ready to go at 100% when the Eagles open their training camp on July 27th. Not that we are really looking that far ahead to training camp already, are we? Of course we are! We all Know for the Eagles to be a success in the NFC East, they need McNabb at 110%. He may still be a bit stung by the drafting of Kevin Kolb with the 4th pick in round two. He has also spent the off season trying to repair his image. He hired a former Eagles PR staffer to be his Public Relations person, and has given several one on one interviews away from the Eagles complex in recent weeks.

Is it possible that McNabb might have rediscovered himself? Let's see what happens between now and laborday. Someone once told me that the term "Chicken Legs" was used to refer to players who had multiple lower extremity injuries, as if to say they are brittle. Hopefully that isn't Donovan's problem
