Still experiencing pain and soreness as a result of the bruised chest he suffered Monday night, quarterback Donovan McNabb sat out practice Wednesday, and the Philadelphia Eagles' star was officially listed as "questionable" on the team's injury report.
McNabb expressed confidence, however, that he will be able to start in Sunday's home opener at Lincoln Financial Field against the San Francisco 49ers.
"Nothing would ever stop me from getting back on that field," McNabb said before the Eagles' practice began. Both the Philadelphia backups, Koy Detmer and Mike McMahon, took snaps with the No. 1 offense during practice. Coach Andy Reid said he wanted the two quarterbacks to both be ready "just in case" McNabb could not play. Detmer is listed No. 2 on the depth chart and McMahon is No. 3. It was Detmer who warmed up Monday night when it was not yet certain if McNabb would return to the game against the Atlanta Falcons.
