Donovan McNabb took a major step forward in his return from knee surgery, practicing with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday several weeks ahead of schedule.

The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback participated in non-contact drills in his first action on the field since he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last Nov. 19.


"It felt great to get back out there on the field with all of the guys," McNabb said. "It's just part of the rehab process and hopefully good things will continue to come. It's important to continue to monitor my progress, but also be smart about the whole situation."

McNabb rehabbed vigorously since his latest injury ended his season early for the third time in five years. He had been throwing on the side for weeks and simulating practice movements, but hadn't been expected to take part in drills with the team until training camp opened next month

This is really good news!

Absolutely this is terrific news for the team. I think, more than anything, it shows Donovan's drive.

I agree, I hate fans who turned on Mcnabb due to last year.. I think the diff between us being a playoff team and a real contender is Mcnabb's health and Andy reid passing play calling to marty

i wonder what this means to brian westbrook? last year the team finally realized that it could win with a running back actually running the ball. with mcnabb back will they implement the same strategy that had jeff garcia of all people lead the eagles to a playoff berth?
