MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — Donovan McNabb has been looking forward to taking over the Vikings offense, and putting last season's debacle in Washington behind him, ever since the Redskins shipped him to Minnesota last week.

That process was put on hold at the start of training camp while he waited for the new collective bargaining agreement to be approved. He eagerly trotted out to the practice field on Thursday afternoon, just itching to get some work in with his new teammates.

Like everything else in this crazy, wacky NFL summer, McNabb's first day of practice didn't go exactly according to plan.

McNabb kneeled and said a quick prayer before receiving a rousing ovation from the fans. A few minutes later, vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman hustled out and told McNabb and the 16 other veterans who either signed new contracts or restructured their old ones that the new CBA wasn't ratified yet, forcing them to the sidelines yet again.

"I felt like we weren't going to be able to get out there and we were like little kids in Pop Warner who didn't make weight," McNabb said, "just standing around."

About 40 minutes into practice, Spielman got the green light that the deal was done. He whistled and waved his arms in the air, and McNabb grabbed his helmet and went to work. His first few passes fluttered as he got into a rhythm, but for his first real practice in more than seven months, McNabb looked pretty solid.
