NEW YORK (Reuters) - Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb will play in pain after deciding to forgo hernia surgery.
"It's not going to take me away from what I do," McNabb said. "It's not going to stop me from going out and making plays with my legs and making plays with my arm."
Although only surgery will correct the problem McNabb would miss eight to 12 weeks playing time if he had the operation now.
"All the physicians involved in this have said his pain can get worse but the condition won't," said Eagles trainer Greg Burkholder. "It's not like he's going to have a career-ending problem to his abdomen or groin."
