Will Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb be benched Thanksgiving Day?

Settled as No

http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter?game_id=29706&displayPage=tab_gamecenter&season=2008&week=REG13

Background:

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was benched after the first half of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens following a miserable performance in which he committed three turnovers and failing to produce any points. One week earlier, he threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in an overtime tie with Cincinnati.

Donovan McNabb's benching lasted less than 24 hours.

One day after he got yanked at halftime of a close game, the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback got his job back — for now. McNabb will start when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday night.

Reports indicate McNabb will start, but will he finish?

Being Benched (to settle as yes) for purposes of this question will be if McNabb is kept out of or removed from the game by decision of the coaching staff - If McNabb doesn't start because of decision by coaches/organization, this also would meet criteria of being benched, thus settling as yes.
Removed from game because of injury sustained will not settle as yes.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.
