ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Donovan McNabb says he doesn’t consider his sprained ankle a setback as he learns a new Washington Redskins offense.
McNabb said Wednesday he will mentally prepare for Friday’s game against the New York Jets, even though Rex Grossman will be the starter.
McNabb said he thinks he has a chance to play next week against Arizona, but coach Mike Shanahan said McNabb’s chances of playing in that game are “slim.” Shanahan says he usually doesn’t play his starting quarterback in the final preseason game.
McNabb also poked some fun at Albert Haynesworth, who used air quotes when describing the “headaches” he was supposedly suffering last week. McNabb did the same Wednesday when describing his “sprain.”
