McNabb Needs Surgery

Donovan McNabb was told Thursday to have surgery that probably would end his season. The Eagles' quarterback is considering his options. The five-time Pro Bowl quarterback will miss Philadelphia's game against the New York Giants on Sunday with a groin injury, no other decisions have been made.

His options, a team source conceded Thursday afternoon, appear limited: Undergo the surgery now, a move that almost certainly would end McNabb's season, or delay it and hope that rest and treatment will permit the quarterback to return to the field in a week or two. The source emphasized a decision has not yet been made and offered no timetable for when the issue will be resolved.
