On the mend from a sprained ankle and thumb, Donovan McNabb has returned from a broken ankle, sports hernia, and a knee injury during his lengthy career. McNabb said Wednesday his ankle and thumb have improved, and he is closer to getting back on the field than he was a week ago. But his availability for Sunday's game against the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks (7-4) is still uncertain. "I feel a lot closer, but you have to be smart about the whole situation," he said. The quarterback acknowledged that he's getting a bit anxious to return. "I think I've gotten to the point where you have to just let frustration go," he said. "You focus on getting yourself back healthy to get out there and function well."
