he has to figure out if mcnabb can play. all of the indications are that mcnabb will not be ready. i talked to mcnabb on monday morning. he said he is still in pain and doesn't know if he can play on sunday against the chiefs. he said "we will see how it goes. it is only monday." but he did not sound optimistic. he has to prepare fist offense for the return of michael vick. vick is making his nfl debut after more than two years away from the game. team sources say they are preparing an extensive package of plays for vick. he is likely to be the backup starter to kevin kolb, shotgun, wildcat formations and a lot of things. eagles used the wildcat against the saints for 45 yards. reed says kolb will take the snaps at quarterback. a lot of moving parts. >> where does all of this leave jeff garcia? >> that is the key thing. if jeff garcia is the backup to kevin kolb, then they can't use michael vick if michael vick is listed as the third quarterback. once vick is inserted into the game in the first three quarter it is, kolb and garcia cannot play in the game. very, very interesting, in

compare the eagles with donovan mcnabb to the eagles without donovan mcnabb. >> this team is an explosive team with him. he can run outside the pock sxet make it happen with his leg, like the play when he was injured. he has a great cannon arm to find receivers in the middle of the football field. so many weapons. this team is not the same without him because they don't have the versatility as with him there. >> at least now michael vick is available in week three. we need to wait and see what andy reid and donovan mcnabb will have to say. we will bring the news conferences right here. and an incredible finish between the bengals and broncos. cincinnati grabs a lead late in the sixth. kyle orton, and pass tipped in the air. and e.a., take us through this, how on earth did the bengals lose this game? >> what an incredible head's up play by stokley. tipped and overthrow. that is what we teach, tips and overthrows have to be defense. stokley running the football and making it happen. congratulations to the broncos, by hanging on and playing quality, quality defense and then making a big play

but after the game, mcnabb didn't have a whole heck of a lot to say. westbrook did to our sal palantonio. >> we came out to play football. we didn't quite gel the first couple series the way we wanted to. but we kept fighting. guys up front settled down. we started catching the ball. turned out well for us. >> once it became clear that your defense was gonna give you some turnovers and a short field, how much energy did that infuse into this offense? >> that means a lot when your special teams and defense is creating turnovers and scoring points. that means a whole lot for the offense. hopefully, we can keep this thing rolling. >> how much pain is number 5 in now? you saw him coming off the field? >> i'm sure he's hurting. he's sore. 5 is a great guy. he's a hard working resilient guy. he'll be back soon. >> panthers went 8-0 at home last season. but their home opener today anything like 2008. five interceptions jake delhomme through four of them. 28 points afloud the second quarter. nearly matched last year's total second quarter points aloud. that's

to get donovan mcnabb two weeks' rest would be ideal.lb and all of a sudden michael vick back him up. that does afford a little bit of cushion in terms of bringing back donovan mcnabb slowly and when he's ready. >> and you heard andy say it will be kevin kolb next week. and i'm sure it will be brett favre in uniform. making his 271st consecutive start against detroit. the lions beat the vikings twice last year? but they didn't win. now adrian peterson. tied 10-10. we have seen this before. detroit was very game but in the end, it dissipated. brett favre actually threw for more yards than peterson ran for. so for this one, minnesota wins it. we all know tampa bay lost 26 in order to start their career, if you will. but now 19 losses in a row tie a chicago cardinals squad in the 1940's and an early 1960's oakland raiders squad as second most. they used to beat minnesota all the time. they just can't win. >>> all right. chicago and pittsburgh. these two teams scream defense. low-scoring game. jay cultler to johnny knox. he finds gold for a

donovan mcnabb didn't play last week.won't surprise me if matthew hasselbeck is unable to play this week against the chicago bears. if hasselbeck can't go, seneca wallace gets the turn. i think he has some capabilities of surprising some people, but he's not matthew hasselbeck, crors. john: all right, michael crabtree, still holding out. we heard that report yesterday saying the niners were filing tampering charges. an agent's job is to get the most money for his client. what more can you tell us? >> well, at this particular point in time, i think the whole issue came to a head with the tampering charges. a couple of weeks ago, deion sanders, who's close with michael crabtree, raised the point that there were a couple of teams out there who were willing to pay crabtree whatever he wanted, whatever that is. and so when that happens, that raises the 49ers' curiosity level. they can't have some people out there saying to michael crabtree, we'll pay you a certain amount of money, which is more than the 49ers are offering, bec

mcnabb is dealing with a cracked rib, hopes to play sunday.ot eligible to return until week three. so andy reid says -- >> i want to make it very clear, kevin cobb right now is the starter quarterback. so when you go out to practice, you'll see kevin cobb as a starter. if donovan cannot play this week, kevin will be the starting quarterback and then michael we took off the exempt list and he's able to practice only. he cannot play in the game. so therefore jeff garcia becomes the backup. if again -- if don than's healthy he's the number three. if don than is not healthy enough to play, then he is the number two. >> we can say this with great certainty, whoever lines up under center we'll not only bring you highlights but also their postgame news conferences. it is the blitz blitz every sunday yours truly with eric allen. complete recaps, analysis and news conferences of all the early games. 4:00 eastern here on espnews. >> was that the show you told me was the best show on tv? >> better than seinfeld. >> giants-rockies, we'll talk to >> giants

[ cheers and applause ] any one of them has a career-ending injury -- win/win, right? [ laughter ] by the way, jon gosselin got a speeding ticket on tuesday near his home in pennsylvania. he was going 78 in a 55 mile an hour zone. they gave him $165 citation for speeding, and charged him another $85 for not having his girlfriend from the car seat.
