Bills-Eagles Preview
| SCOUTING REPORT |
McNabb looking healthy heading into Philadelphia's season finaleBuffalo fell apart after a strong start against the Giants in Week 16, while Philadelphia put an end to the Saints' playoff hopes with a solid road in in New Orleans. Speculation continues that this week could be QB Donovan McNabb's last game with the Eagles. The Bills do a great job winning the turnover battle and defending in the red zone, but their red zone offense has been a sore spot. The Eagles are in the same boat, as they excel with their red zone defense but really struggle offensively in the same area. And both of these teams continue to play hard despite being out of the playoff race. |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Kevin Kolb was the Eagles' No. 2 quarterback Sunday against Buffalo and starting safety Brian Dawkins, cornerback Lito Sheppard and tight end L.J. Smith were inactive with injuries.
It was the first time this year that Kolb, the Eagles first draft pick last year, was the No. 2 QB when both Donovan McNabb and A.J. Feeley are healthy. Feeley was listed as the third quarterback.
Dawkins (right foot), Sheppard (right knee) and Smith (knee, ribs) all missed the season finale. The Eagles were eliminated from a playoff spot.
Buffalo left tackle Jason Peters (groin) was inactive for the Bills.
