Knee Injury Ends McNabb's Season
Posted on: Sunday, 19 November 2006, 18:00 CST
Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb is done for the season after suffering a torn right knee ligament in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
The five-time Pro Bowl player was hit on a roll-out in the second quarter and tumbled out of bounds after throwing an incomplete pass.
After grabbing his leg, he was carted off the field and received immediate medical attention.
That's (ACL) normally an eight-month to a year injury, said Coach Andy Reid on the Eagles' Web site.
McNabb began the game tied with Peyton Manning of Indianapolis for the league lead with 18 touchdown passes and was second in the league with 2,569 passing yards.
Surgery for a sports hernia caused him to miss the final seven games last season.
McNabb also sat out the final six regular-season games of the 2002 season with a broken ankle before returning for the playoffs.
