| Wis. (AP) -Donovan McNabb's smile looked the same. He said he felt fine, too. Still, the five-time Pro Bowl selection struggled to find a rhythm and got little help from his receivers or offensive line in the Philadelphia Eagles' 16-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday in his first game since returning from a torn right knee ligament. McNabb finished 15-of-33 for 184 yards with a touchdown and an interception, but the nine-year veteran looked little like the dominating quarterback that led Philadelphia |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard is scheduled to have tests on Monday after he left Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers with a sprained right knee. ``It may be a little while,'' Philadelphia coach Andy Reid said. ``It's pretty tender right now.'' Reid said Sheppard would have an MRI on a sprained medial collateral ligament. Sheppard was hurt in the second quarter. He made two tackles, the last coming when he stopped Brandon Jackson on a 6-yard run with 4:57 to p |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Green Bay Packers starting cornerback Al Harris insisted on going back into the game after hyperextending his right elbow in the first quarter of Sunday's 16-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. But he's not too crazy about the idea of playing on special teams any more. ``I'm through with special teams, unless coach tells me, 'Al, you've got to get out there,''' Harris said. ``Then I'll get out there.''

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Green Bay Packers starting cornerback Al Harris injured his right elbow and was taken to the locker room in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. As Harris was attempting to block an Eagles player on a punt return midway through the first quarter, Packers safety Atari Bigby slammed into both players. Harris, who was holding his right elbow in pain on the sideline, was carted to the locker room for X-rays with 7:13 remaining in the quarter. The team said hi |

| (MySportsbook) - Donovan McNabb will make his formal return to the field on Sunday afternoon, when the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback leads his team into battle against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. It was last Nov. 19th when McNabb, a five-time Pro Bowl honoree, tore his right ACL after being bumped out of bounds by defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch in an eventual loss to the Tennessee Titans. McNabb missed the final six games of the regular season and two playoff contests, as backup Jeff Garcia (no |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Mike McCarthy said Friday he is a more confident coach as he enters the start of his second season leading the Green Bay Packers. That self-assurance will be tested Sunday, when his injury-riddled offense could start three rookies in the season opener against Philadelphia at Lambeau Field. Halfback Brandon Jackson and fullback Korey Hall are penciled in as starters, and receiver James Jones could start because Greg Jennings is listed as questionable for the game. Jennings didn't pr |

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Note to the Green Bay Packers: Please cancel any sort of military aircraft flyover planned for Sunday's pregame ceremonies. Given the likelihood of starting his first game as a rookie, running back Brandon Jackson is having a hard enough time relaxing right now. ``I'm just trying to stay calm now,'' Jackson said Wednesday. ``I'm very excited now. It's my first game as a rookie, my first home game. If I get the start, it's a lot. I try to go out there calm and relaxed. It can get craz |
