Eagles’ McNabb misses practice

PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb didn’t practice Thursday, and the quarterback’s availability for the Philadelphia Eagles game Sunday against the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks is still in doubt.

McNabb has been sidelined since spraining his ankle and thumb in a win over the Miami Dolphins on Nov. 18. Coach Andy Reid said McNabb is his starting quarterback when he gets healthy.

Reid said McNabb’s ankle was more sore than his thumb and that he was trying to get to the point where he could “push off” on the ankle.

That didn’t happen Thursday, as backup A.J. Feeley worked with the first team.

Feeley is coming off a strong outing in a 31-28 loss to New England in which he had career bests in completions (27) and yards passing (345) and threw for three touchdowns.

Eagles running back Brian Westbrook (knee) also missed practice on Thursday. Westbrook has not practiced this week.
