Eagles | McNabb doing well

John Nalbone, of the Trenton Times, reports Philadelphia Eagles general manager Tom Heckert said he expects QB Donovan McNabb (knee) will be ready to go in July. "He's doing very well," Heckert said. "He's been rehabbing and just starting running on ground. That's a good sign. He looks good, he's progressing well and from all the things we see right now we think he's going to be ready for training camp."

As for strong-side linebacker, Dhani Jones is still the Eagles starter as of right now, but it wouldn't be shocking if he were replaced by Chris Gocong, last year's third-round draft pick, who spent the 2006 season on injured reserve. It's also possible that the Eagles bring in a free-agent linebacker to replace Jones. Veteran Brian Dawkins will be back for another season as the starter at free safety, and Sean Considine will likely remain as the strong safety. The Eagles want Considine to work at adding bulk and maintaining it through the season.
