BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) -Security guards asked a fan to remove a replica of Donovan McNabb’s maroon Washington Redskins jersey he was wearing on the sideline at Eagles training camp Wednesday morning.
The fan, 43-year-old Jim Devlin of King of Prussia, Pa., said he removed it without complaint. Devlin added in an interview on Philadelphia radio station 97.5 The Fanatic that the guard who confronted him said the request had come from coach Andy Reid.
A team spokesman denied that, saying Reid was not aware of Devlin’s presence and that the guards were acting to calm the commotion created when reporters crowded around the fan while practice was in session.
McNabb, a six-time Pro Bowler who spent 11 seasons with the Eagles, was traded in April to NFC East rival Washington.
