McNabb Looks Good In First Game

ESPN - Donovan McNabb did everything but scramble.

Playing his first game since tearing a knee ligament last November, McNabb put on an aerial display in the first quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles' preseason game against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night.

The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback completed 6-of-9 passes for 138 yards, including a 58-yard strike to tight end Matt Schobel. He led the Eagles to 10 points on four possessions before giving way to backup A.J. Feeley.

"I tried to treat it just like practice," McNabb said. "We were able to make some plays, get some guys involved."

Wearing a bulky protective brace on his surgically repaired right knee, McNabb hardly needed to escape the pocket. He was flushed out to the right once and threw an incomplete pass. On his final play, McNabb was sacked by Stanley McClover and Thomas Davis. He got right up and walked to the sideline. [READ]
