Donovan McNabb will be under center Thanksgiving night against the Arizona Cardinals.

Head coach Andy Reid made the announcement at his regular day-after-the-game press conference.

Eagles fans -- make that NFL fans across the board -- reacted with surprise to see a healthy McNabb benched Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

McNabb had been ineffective and wild for the last two weeks -- committing three turnovers in the first half against the Ravens before Reid turned to second-year QB Kevin Kolb.

Kolb didn't fare much better tossing two picks including one that was returned 108 yards by the Ravens' Ed Reed.

McNabb is in his tenth season with the Eagles and holds the record for the most wins as an Eagles QB.
