PHILADELPHIA — A.J. Feeley will not get a chance to save Philadelphia's season and fill the role as the Eagles' next Jeff Garcia.

If Donovan McNabb is completely healthy, he's the Eagles quarterback.

End of debate.

Now all coach Andy Reid can do is hope McNabb is healthy enough to play this week against Seattle. While McNabb is making progress from thumb and ankle injuries that kept him out of Philadelphia's loss at New England, Reid said he wanted his quarterback at 100 percent before he plays again.

"We'll see how he does," Reid said Monday. "We're trying to get him back to 100 percent before we stick him in the game."

The QB situation is eerily familiar for the Eagles. They were 5-6 last season and McNabb was out with a torn knee ligament. Garcia stepped in and led the team to five wins and one more in the postseason.

The Eagles are 5-6 again and probably need to win their final five to have any shot at the playoffs. McNabb is sidelined, but the thumb and ankle injuries are nowhere near as severe as the ACL, and the plucky backup's play against the Patriots has some fans and columnists calling for Feeley to be the No. 1 QB.

"I understand how those things work," Reid said. "I think it's a pretty good situation to be in myself. If you have that many quarterbacks that people think can play, then that's a good thing."
