August 22, 2008 Donovan McNabb performed well for Philadelphia, leading the team to a 27-17 preseason victory over New England. McNabb threw for 180 yards and one touchdown while completing 13 of 17 passes. Our View:Fantasy owners should have a little more faith in McNabb after this game. He did not perform well last week, but this is the type of game that McNabb is capable of. |

August 14, 2008 Quarterback Donovan McNabb had a shaky night in the Eagles preseason game against the Panthers, going 11-for-24 for 98 yards, an average of just 4.1 yards per pass. Our View:4.1 is a good average ... for a running back. This is not the McNabb that people want to see. He's never been the most accurate quarterback in the world, but he'll need to improve on Thursday's performance. |
|
August 8, 2008 Donovan McNabb has looked strong early in camp firing spirals all over the field while running with the first team offense, according to Pro Football Talk. Our View:The only real news to report here is that Kevin Kolb, and not A.J. Feeley, is the backup quarterback on the depth chart. McNabb simply needs to stay healthy to put up numbers that place him in the top-10 of quarterbacks. |

July 31, 2008 PhillyBurbs.com reports that Marty Mornhinweg feels that Donovan McNabb "became a better quarterback because of his lack of mobility (last season). He learned many things during the course of his playing time, in game situations. And now he's got it all back, it appears. He's 100 percent healthy; he's running and gunning again. I'm sure he's pleased with his health." McNabb has certainly looked deserving of that praise so far in camp. He's in shape, his throwing arm has shown no lingering effects of the tendinitis that caused him to be shut down in the spring and, most importantly, he seems to have regained much of the mobility he didn't have last year. Our View:As we all know, the biggest fear with McNabb is his health. He has missed a combined 15 games in the past three seasons, but he appears to be 100% going into 2008. Still, he has thrown more than 3400 yards in just one season out of nine and tossed over 20 touchdowns just once in the past six campaigns. A lot of his value comes from not turning the ball over much. A healthy McNabb is a top-10 fantasy quarterback. |

July 22, 2008 Donovan McNabb participated in the Eagles' preliminary training camp workouts on Tuesday morning, according to Eagles.com. Our View:McNabb was throwing bullet passes and had good zip on his deep ball during the practice, and looked healthy and enthusiastic. |
|
July 15, 2008 Quarterback Donovan McNabb said in his most recent blog on yardbarker.com that his "shoulder is fine" and that he's been working out in Phoenix with teammate Brian Dawkins in preparation for the start of training camp, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Our View:McNabb was shut down during the final week of team workouts last month because of shoulder tendinitis. Coach Andy Reid said at the time that he expected McNabb to be ready for the start of training camp, and it appears that he is 100 percent healthy. |
|
July 9, 2008 Donovan McNabb indicated that he is fully recovered from the shoulder tendinitis that forced him to miss time during the Eagles' June minicamp, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Our View:McNabb was expected to need 2-3 weeks of recovery time, but only took three days. McNabb is also determined to prove he is fully healthy. |

June 15, 2008 Donovan McNabb knows that some Eagles fans have questions about the quarterback's current ailment, his injury history, and his ability to lead the team to a Super Bowl title, this according to SI.com. "I do think it gets blown way out of proportion. With the injury, if you don't say anything, then people think it's bigger than what it is and if you do say something, some people still think you're hiding something. It's a no-win situation and I've been part of them for a long time. I've heard people say, 'Donovan is fat,' I'm out of shape and I'm too big. I just don't get caught up in it." Our View:Considering the 32-year old McNabb hasn't played a full 16-game season since 2003 missing one game in '04, seven games in '05, six games in '06 and two games last year -- concerns and questions are more than justified. |

June 11, 2008 Head coach Andy Reid said MRI results were negative on quarterback Donovan McNabb’s shoulder, which was why Reid emphasized that no surgery was in the offing when he spoke briefly with reporters on Tuesday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Our View:Reid has shut down McNabb because of slight tendinitis in his shoulder, after he experienced a little tightness during recent practices. This appears to be a situation where the coach is resting a player who already knows the offensive system inside and out, as a precautionary measure. |
|
June 10, 2008 Donovan McNabb has been shut down for the balance of the week due to tendinitis in his shoulder, according to ProFootballTalk.com. McNabb previously downplayed the condition of his shoulder, but now it has been revealed that he has in fact been nursing an ailment. Our View:Kevin Kolb will benefit, as he will be getting the bulk of the reps with the first-team offense. McNabb's injury is said to be the result of lifting weights. |
|
June 9, 2008 Donovan McNabb practiced on a "very limited" basis Monday due to concerns about his shoulder, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Our View:The quarterback told Brian Seltzer of ESPN Radio 950 in Philly that he's not concerned about the shoulder and is confident it will improve. The fact that he says is will improve means that there is, in fact, something wrong with it. Anyone who drafts McNabb is aware of the injury risk he brings, but he's usually not already injured going into a season. It might be wise to knock him down a few spots in your cheat sheets. |
|
June 5, 2008 Wide receiver Kevin Curtis implied that Donovan McNabb may be nursing shoulder soreness, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Our View:McNabb notably didn't throw on the final day of the mandatory team minicamp last month, and his passes reportedly lacked "zip" on Wednesday. A team source stated that nothing was wrong with McNabb's shoulder, and he took batting practice with the Phillies last night. The team confirms he is fine, but we will continue to monitor the situation. |
|
May 7, 2008 A son of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid is heading to state prison after admitting he smuggled narcotics into the Montgomery County Jail, according to ESPN. Our View:Garrett Reid, 25, pleaded guilty to drug smuggling charges on Wednesday, and faces a minimum two years in state prison. Reid is already serving time in the county jail for a heroin-fueled car crash that injured a motorist. |

May 5, 2008 Donovan McNabb showed up to minicamp in good shape, according to the Philadelphia Enquirer. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said, "There is no comparison he is in better shape. Donovan looks sharp, quick. He's throwing the ball well. Last year at this time, there was still a lot of work to be done physically with his injury." Our View:McNabb was recovering from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last season, and posted decent numbers with 3324 passing yards and 19 scoring strikes. Tight end (and favorite safety valve) LJ Smith also battled injuries. Both are healthy for this season, and McNabb could challenge his former MVP-type numbers in 2008, assuming receivers Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown carry their weight as playmakers. Rookie DeSean Jackson will provide a spark to the offense as well. |

April 3, 2008 Donovan McNabb has spoken with Andy Reid about the rumors the team will trade him before this month's draft and the head coach assured him that wasn't the case, according to FanNation.com. McNabb is back in Philadelphia after spending much of the off-season at his home in Arizona. He said that he's been working on his conditioning and that his surgically reconstructed knee is feeling much better than it did during last season. McNabb remains a high risk, high reward type, who has missed 16 starts during the past four seasons due to various injuries. |

April 1, 2008 The Philadelphia Eagles received three compensatory draft picks based on free agent losses from last season, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The three additional picks give the Eagles a total of 11 in the 2008 NFL draft. They have one pick in each of the first three rounds (19, 49 and 80 overall), two in the fourth round (115 and 131), one in the fifth round (154), four in the sixth round (184, 191, 200 and 203), and one in the seventh round (230). |
|
March 19, 2008 The Eagles and Broncos are two of the team's very interested in Vanderbilt wide receiver Earl Bennett, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Bennett set an SEC record with 236 career receptions. He projects as a second-round pick. |
|
February 10, 2008 Unless some team gives the Eagles multiple first-round draft picks, which is highly unlikely, according to the Philly.com, Donovan McNabb will be back as the team's starter. By using their franchise tag on L.J. Smith, the Eagles sent a signal of their commitment to making another - and perhaps final - run at a Super Bowl with their current core group. McNabb and the Eagles veterans are pushing the front office to be active in free agency and stock playmakers on both sides of the ball. The problem is there are no Randy Moss' currently available in the NFL market place. |
|
February 5, 2008 Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome has disputed an ESPN report that his team is pondering making a substantial offer for Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. "We have not had one meeting to discuss any personnel on our team or anyone else's team," Newsome said in the Baltimore Sun. "We've been very busy hiring assistant coaches." McNabb's name figures to come up often in trade rumors this offseason, though the Eagles have said they intend on keeping him. |
