McNabb Hurt In Eagles Win

It appears that the Philadelphia will need Michael Vick when his suspension ends in week three. After watching Donovan McNabb lay on the ground for several minutes after taking a few hits while running for the game’s final touchdown Head Coach Andy Reid had to be thinking about the Vick contingency plan.

Word is that McNabb has a cracked rib which means that he could be back in uniform next week or out for a month. Regardless of the amount of time McNabb misses, if any, that is a tough injury to overcome when you’re being pounded by NFL caliber defensive linemen each week. Looks like Michael Vick will need to shake of the rust very quickly.

Prediction
The city of New Orleans is hungry for this game and the Super Dome will be crazy. I’ve had the pleasure to witness a game there in person and I can tell you that it will be deafening. The problem for the Eagles will be their inability to stop the run. I’ll take the Saints.
