ESPN's Chris Mortensen confirms an NFL Network report that Donovan McNabb has been benched in favor of Christian Ponder.
McNabb has now been benched by three different teams in the past four seasons. This is the first one that won't require a "financial apology," and there's plenty of speculation that McNabb could end up being released to avoid an awkward stint as a clipboard holder. With his accuracy, arm strength, and mobility on a severe decline, McNabb is no longer an NFL-caliber starter. He can be released in all fantasy leagues.
