Donovan McNabb underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right knee and may be ready for the 2007 season-opening game, the team said.
McNabb tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a Nov. 19 loss to Tennessee. He had reconstructive surgery on Tuesday in Birmingham, Alabama, and had a portion of the meniscus cartilage in his knee removed.
Eagles head trainer Rick Burkholder said McNabb would stay in Alabama for the next week and then return to the team's training complex for an 8-to-12 month rehabilitation program.
``Eight months is a good, solid amount of time,'' Burkholder said at a news conference, according to the team's Web site. ``We're setting it up right now that he can be back in training camp or maybe the opening game.''

Dallas wide receiver Terrell Owens was asked Tuesday whether or not he'd send any 'get-well' text messages to former teammate Donovan McNabb, following his torn ACL injury. Owens quickly replyed, "Absolutely not."
Rumor has it that McNabb sent several 'get-well' messages to Owens following his 'accidential overdose' earlier this year. However, Owens claims he never received any such messages.

With first-round pick Jay Cutler waiting in the wings and expected to take over as Denver's starter in 2007, JakePlummer is not expected to return to Denver.
The Broncos will wind up trading or releasing him, and Philadelphia could be an ideal landing spot.
Plummer is familiar with the West-Coast-type offense, as well as the NFC East division, having played in it during his time in Arizona. The market for Plummer is not expected to be active. But the Eagles could be a potential suitor.
