The Eagles aren’t giving up hope of having Donovan McNabb on the field when they play their home opener Sunday against the Saints. McNabb made a brief appearance on the practice field yesterday afternoon but did not take part in drills, after fracturing his rib on a touchdown run late in Philadelphia’s 38-10 victory over Carolina last Sunday. “Donovan is working very hard,’’ offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said. “You know Donovan, he’s doing everything in his power to get back out there, make it to this game. He’s played with a broken ankle, a broken sternum, and all these things. Donovan is a very tough man.’’ If McNabb isn’t available, the Eagles will go with Kevin Kolb, the team’s second-round draft pick in 2007. Source: Associated Press
