Eagles rookie Kevin Kolb, not veteran A.J. Feeley, began the afternoon as the backup to starting quarterback Donovan McNabb in the season finale Sunday against the Bills at Lincoln Financial Field.

That would make the rookie passer much closer to getting into the game.

The Eagles scratched tight end L.J. Smith (knee), S Brian Dawkins (foot), cornerbacks Lito Sheppard (knee) and Tanard Davis, G Scott Young and defensive linemen LaJuan Ramsey and Montae Reagor.
