| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid indicated Friday that quarterback Donovan McNabb is being labeled as doubtful for Sunday's home opener against the New Orleans Saints. McNabb sat out practice during the week after suffering a fractured rib last Sunday against Carolina. Reid said McNabb was feeling better and will continue to rehab the injury but all signs point to third-year pro Kevin Kolb making his first NFL start come Sunday with only one week in the books.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The Eagles are holding out hope that quarterback Donovan McNabb might be able to play in their home opener against the New Orleans Saints. Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Morninweg said before Thursday's practice that McNabb has been ``working hard'' and ``doing everything in his power to get back out there.'' McNabb fractured a rib on a touchdown run late in the Eagles' 38-10 win over Carolina last Sunday. He was on the practice field for the team's walkthrough Thursday morning, but |

| to quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb suffered a fractured rib after being hit hard by the Panthers' Damione Lewis on a three-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter, leaving the brittle veteran's status for this Sunday's clash with the New Orleans Saints in serious doubt. If McNabb doesn't play, it will mark the fourth time in the last five seasons he's missed at least one game due to injury. While there's mounting evidence that McNabb won't be available this week, it's uncertain as to who will be u |

| (MySportsbook) - Few would have thought that Tom Brady's record-setting 50 touchdown passes in 2007 would be challenged by someone so soon. Yet one week into the 2009 season, and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is on pace to shatter that incredible mark. Brees threw six touchdown passes in Sunday's 45-27 victory over Detroit, the most lopsided season-opening win in Saints history, putting him on pace for an eye-popping 96 touchdown passes. Now, of course no one expects the 2008 NFL Offensive Player o |

| New Orleans, LA (MySportsbook) - The New Orleans Saints agreed to terms with wide receiver Courtney Roby on Tuesday. The fourth-year pro returns to the Saints for a second season, after being signed by the club during 2008 from Indianapolis. He participated in five games primarily as a return specialist before completing the year on injured reserve. Over 31 regular-season games with the Titans, Colts and Saints, the Indiana product has 23 receptions for 317 yards and averaged 23.2 yards per touch on 46 kickoff |

Favre can continue to wade into the water of the NFL season this week, as Minnesota heads to Detroit to face a Lions team that allowed over 500 yards of total offense to the New Orleans Saints last week. In Week 3, the Vikings will play their home opener against the 49ers, though a few fans in the Twin Cities could be forgiven for looking past that one to the Monday night encounter on Oct. 5th...against a green-and-gold-clad team hailing |

| (MySportsbook) - By the conclusion of their road test against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon, the NFL-viewing public should have a good indication of how far the Detroit Lions have come...and how far they have left to go. In their first game under new head coach Jim Schwartz, the Lions will face a Saints club that humiliated them by a 42-7 count in Week 16 of the 2008 season, just one week before Detroit finished off the first 0-16 season in NFL history with a loss to the Green Bay Packers.
