McNabb Injured, Delhomme Benched
Looks like the Michael Vick era could begin Week 3 when his suspension is up. Donovan McNabb left the game early with an apparent back injury.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has gone to the locker room with an injury suffered on a short touchdown run against the Carolina Panthers.
McNabb scored on a 3-yard run in the third quarter to give the Eagles a 38-10 lead. He didn’t immediately get up after the touchdown, and was attended to by Eagles trainers before eventually leaving the field on his own.
Trainers seemed to be checking his lower back or ribs before he headed to the locker room.
This is still way to early to expect this is anything serious. The Eagles might have have been taking precaution since they were blowing out the Panthers. Jake Delhomme got benched after turning the ball over five times this afternoon.
Delhomme was taken out after a miserable performance Sunday brought his total turnovers to 11 in the past two meaningful games. McCown limped off with a left knee injury in the fourth quarter after he was sacked by Darren Howard.
Third-string quarterback Matt Moore entered the game with the Panthers trailing 38-10.
