The long awaited Day One of training camp is finally in the books, and there were a few notable story lines and other snippets of news that surfaced today.
- Donovan McNabb threw the ball accurately and effortlessly, showing no ill-effects from his shoulder tendinitis injury during mini-camps.
- DT Trevor Laws, DE Bryan Smith, and CB Jack Ikegwuono were placed on the PUP list (Active/Physically Unable to Perform). While Laws (foot) and Smith (hamstring) are expected to only miss a few days, Ikegwuono will most likely be placed on the Injured Reserve for the entire season due to a serious knee injury that he suffered in January while training for the NFL Combine.
- Donovan McNabb said in a press conference this morning that it is his opinion Brian Westbrook will report to training camp this Thursday.
- DeSean Jackson had a solid day -- nothing special in the morning, but noticeable improvement in the afternoon practice. He mainly ran out for slant passes.
Today's Must Reads
