NFL Football News :: Donovan McNabb will start as Philadelphia Eagles QB on Thursday

Posted on 2008-11-24 by Gooner

One day after he got subbed at halftime of a close game, the 5-time Pro Bowl quarterback got his job back, at least for now.

McNabb was pulled from a game for the first time in his career after two dismal quarters in Sunday's 36-7 loss at Baltimore.

The Eagles (5-5-1) only trailed 10-7 at the time, but Eagles head coach Andy Reid thought second-year pro Kevin Kolb gave the team a better chance to win a game it desperately needed to maintain its slim playoff hopes.

Kolb failed, Philly lost 36-7 and now McNabb will start when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night.

Eagles head coach Andy Reid spoke at his Monday news conference :
"Donovan is the quarterback. I don't want to leave here until you understand that."
