Donovan McNabb discussed his knee rehab at ESPN and said he expected to be ready for the start of the Eagles' season.
Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb expressed confidence that he would be back for the start of the season while conducting several interviews yesterday at ESPN's headquarters in Bristol, Conn.
On an ESPN radio show, McNabb discussed his rehabilitation from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. McNabb was asked if he thought he would be ready to play in the first game of the year.
"Absolutely," said McNabb, who suffered the season-ending injury Nov. 19 in a 31-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans. "I'm looking forward to having a great season and playing with the great acquisitions we've just had and the ones to come."
Earlier this week, Eagles coach Andy Reid told The Inquirer that McNabb was "a little ahead of schedule" in his rehabilitation but was not likely to be back on the practice field until at least the start of training camp in late July.
