PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Donovan McNabb will not play against the New Orleans Saints because of a fractured rib and Kevin Kolb will get his first career NFL start.
Jeff Garcia is the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday’s game.
McNabb did not practice all week. He cracked a rib when he was crunched by several defenders on his 3-yard touchdown run in last week’s win at Carolina.
Kolb is 24 for 45 for 167 yards, no touchdowns and four interceptions in eight career games. He was 7 for 11 for 23 yards and sacked twice once he took over for the injured McNabb in a win against Carolina.
McNabb has missed 24 games, including playoffs, due to injuries during his first 10 seasons in the NFL. The Eagles are 14-10 in those contests.
