McNabb's shoulder forces him out of practice

by JasonB on Jun 10, 2008 12:31 PM EDT in News

Donovan McNabb is sitting out the Philadelphia Eagles' passing camp Tuesday with shoulder tendinitis.

The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback likely will miss the rest of the week's organized team activities. Kevin Kolb, a second-round pick last season, worked with the first-team offense in McNabb's absence.

The Eagles are saying the tendinitis is from lifting weights. Shoulder tendinitis is little more than soreness and maybe some inflammation in the shoulder and should heal with simply some rest. Still, the fact that the QB is being held out of practice with a shoulder injury before camp has even begun is not exactly something we want to be hearing.

That stupid sports hernia in 2005 was caused because he overworked himself.

Obviously lifting is important, but last time I checked Peyton Manning and Tom Brady werent exactly huge guys

Although the media ~~might~~ will make this out to be a big deal, McNabb has had 9 years of OTAs to get him adjusted to the Eagles’ offense.

I know I’m going to sound like the typical unappreciative Philadelphia fan, but I’m really beginning to tire of Donvan McNabb. His dopey attempts at humor when asked about the shoulder just grate on me. It’s unfortunate, because he’s the best QB the Eagles EVER had, but my memory of him will be his lame attempts at humor, puking his guts up and his Momma and Dad in the unfortunate appearances in the limelight during past seasons. I just hope Kevin Kolb meets our expectations.
