Another episode of 'As Donovan Turns'

While the Eagles quietly go about their jobs getting ready for the Redskins, it’s much more fun to check in with today’s installment of “As Donovan Turns.”

Yes, the QB last seen standing on the Redskins’ sidelines after being pulled in the final two minutes of a loss against the Lions two weeks ago, went back to work yesterday.

Sort of.

Actually, according to the man who yanked the Pro Bowler off the field in favor of journeyman Rex Grossman, McNabb is still battling his way through hamstring injuries.

Mike Shanahan says McNabb is “improved, but by no means is he full speed yet.”

You might remember Shanahan cited those ouchy hammies as one of the reasons he pulled McNabb, setting off still one more firestorm surrounding the quarterback. Does anyone think Shanahan would actually consider not starting McNabb against his old mates Monday night? Nah, not even Shanahan would try to pull that one off. Would he?

McNabb is scheduled to meet with the D.C. media today. Should be interesting.

We’ll keep you posted.

By the way, what do you think all the national pundits will be talking about on their pre-game shows on Sunday?

Yep, just another Redskins-Eagles tilt in front of a prime-time audience Monday night.

Are you ready for some football?
