Official: DMac has Sports Hernia

[ice grillin you]

btw ever since they confirmed this i cant stop thinking about his intestines leaking thru the hole in the abdominal wall

just awful

Time will prove me to be correct.

so you already have your excuse set if the Eagles lose the Superbowl.  nice. 

It's not just an "excuse".  I've said McNabb needed to use his mobility and legs more this year for the Eagles to get over the hump, and that part of his game will be significantly hindered with this injury.

Plus, if he plays IN the pocket anything like the first half against the Raiders, Detmer or McMahon would be better.

He needs to get healthy.

He should just get lots of crotch cortizone shots before the games. Numb up his bits and pieces. He'll be right as rain.

Guess that puts to rest the debate over the Madden cover jinx. Has anyone that's been on the cover made it through a season without some sort of injury?

well,
McNabb rushed less last year than he had any other season in his career (including rookie season) and they finally made the SB....

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Rushing attempts aren't the only thing I'm looking for.  He also ran around and bought time for receivers last year.

McNabb doesn't need to run but once in a while just to establish to the defenses that he can and will run.

[ice grillin you]

he doesnt have to run

but he has to have the ability to run

[MURP]

he has the ability to run.  you guys act like he has an amputated leg. 

[rjs246]

I heard hea had to have his left asscheek amputated and replaced with a sack of milk. Will that impact his mobility?

[ice grillin you]

he has the ability to run.  you guys act like he has an amputated leg

if you taped the game last week go back and watch the long pass to westbrook

mcnabb had trouble making it down the field after westbrook was tackled...hows he supposed to outrun defenders

[TexasEagle]

Whole milk or 2%? It's an issue of density...

dont care what he does after the play is over.  adrenaline gets your through a play. 

[General_Failure]

It's buttermilk. He'll be fine.

Eagles | McNabb Would Miss 8-12 Weeks if Surgery is Done
Wed, 28 Sep 2005 12:28:26 -0700

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb (abdomen) will need surgery on his sports hernia, but he plans on trying to play through the pain. If McNabb has surgery, the recovery time will be 8-12 weeks, according to Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder. "As of right now, the plan with Donovan is to allow him to participate, continue to rehabilitate him and take it on a day-by-day, game-by-game situation," said Burkholder. Hopefully at the end of the season, we will be able to address the problem." Burkholder said McNabb will take anti-inflammatories for medication to help the injury.
