Charlotte– Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has a fractured rib on his lower left side, coach Andy Reid said Sunday afternoon.

   It is unknown how long McNabb will be sidelined, but Reid said “there’s a chance,” he would play next week against the New Orleans Saints.

   McNabb will be examined further on Monday after the team returns to Philadelphia.

   McNabb scored on a 3-yard run in the third quarter to give the Eagles a 38-10 lead. He didn’t immediately get up after the touchdown, and was attended to by Eagles trainers before eventually leaving the field on his own.

   While he was on the ground, quarterback Michael Vick was captured on TV standing in a stadium suite to watch McNabb. Vick is suspended for the first two regular season games to complete penalties for bankrolling a dogfighting ring.

   McNabb was replaced by Kevin Kolb.
