McNabb Takes Part in Eagles Training Camp Practice

A sight for all Eagles Fans' eyes was the Number 5, quarterback Donovan McNabb, participating in training camp practice.  No matter the questions that surround his return, having McNabb back is definitely a great morale booster for the Philadelphia Eagles.

McNabb dawned his "red" #5 training jersey while snapping on a knee brace to protect his knee that's still healing from his season ending ACL injury that occurred last season. He spoke to the media saying that he felt his knee was at about 75%.  No one is taking bets yet on him playing in the pre-season game against Baltimore though.  This chick has doubts we'll see him playing much if at all during that game.

It doesn't look like the Philadelphia Eagles' head coach, Andy Reid is going to push the issue either.       "I'm not in any hurry to push him into the first pre-season game," coach Reid said.

When McNabb was questioned about wearing a knee brace during training camp in Bethlehem but not wearing it in Arizona, McNabb explained, "you have to continue to stay protective, and if I can continue to wear it and it doesn't bother me, I'll continue to wear it through the whole season."    

"Mentally you have to know that the knee is fine. That's kind of the whole process you go through -- not just strengthening it through the weight room and continuing to stay flexible. You have to continue to prepare yourself mentally for what you'll be faced with." McNabb said.
