This last Sunday, Donovan McNabb was injured when he went in for a TD run against the Panthers. He was diagnosed with a broken rib and will likely be out for a week or two. As for backups, they have Kevin Kolb right now and Michael Vick will be reinstated by week 3. The team felt that none of these choices were adequate so they sign Jeff Garcia who had served on the team back in 2006, helping them significantly that year.
While this may be the best backup for the Eagles, it may not be necessary. I think Garcia is good enough to run his own offense for another team. Also, McNabb is expected not to be out that long. Backups are not supposed to be great. This will be added pressure to McNabb that if he doesn't perform well when he returns, then he will lose the team again. It's already bad enough that Vick is on the team. McNabb seemed steamed when he got quite a bit of playing time in the third preseason game. Either way, good luck Philly.
