Team Harteis News –  Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb had season-ending surgery Monday for a sports hernia.

 

 

Philadelphia coach Andy Reid said McNabb will be "off his feet" for three weeks. Dr. William Meyers operated at Hahnemann Hospital.

 

"He thought it went well," Reid said. "He felt good about it."

 

McNabb, a five-time Pro Bowl player, was shut down after nine games and placed on injured reserve last week. He passed for 2,507 yards, 16 touchdowns, nine interceptions and had a passer rating of 85.0 this season.

 

The Eagles also are playing without five other starters: All-Pro wide receiver Terrell Owens (suspended/deactivated), All-Pro cornerback Lito Sheppard (ankle), Pro Bowl tackle Tra Thomas (back), center Hank Fraley (shoulder) and wideout Todd Pinkston (leg).
