[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]Associated Press[/SIZE] PHILADELPHIA – Quarterback Donovan McNabb will miss the Eagles' game Sunday against New England because of a sprained ankle and injured thumb.


McNabb hurt the thumb on his throwing hand early against Miami last Sunday and left after injuring his ankle in the second quarter. He has not practiced all week.


A.J. Feeley, who led the Eagles to a pair of touchdowns in a 17-7 win over the Dolphins, gets the start for underdog Philadelphia.


McNabb has started every game since returning ahead of schedule after a torn knee ligament ended his season early last year. Injuries ended his regular season three times in the past six years. The Eagles are 13-8 without him, including 1-1 in the playoffs last season.


Feeley will make his first start since he led Miami over Cleveland on Dec. 26, 2004. He was 4-1 as a starter in the last five regular-season games in 2002, helping the Eagles finish first in the NFC after McNabb and backup Koy Detmer were injured. Feeley was 3-5 in eight starts with the Dolphins in '04, including a win over eventual Super Bowl champion New England.


Strong safety Quintin Mikell also is out with a sprained knee, meaning Philadelphia might have to start third-string J.R. Reed.

I'm sure New England will blow them out, but what would all the McFalbb lovers say if somehow the game was close or the E-girls actually won?

Hey, this is some backup's chance to make a name for himself. Just like Brady and Romo had with Bledsoe.

I hope Feeley gets knocked out of the game and Kolb comes in to bring the Eagles back from a huge deficit, only to lose on a missed 55 yd FG by Akers.

You didn't think I would want the Eagles to win, now did you?

Well, I've been routing for the Jets and Dolphins. If we win this week we clinch the division and I want our 49er's draft pick to be as low as it can get.
