---------------------------------------- Sports News Alert: Redskins name Rex Grossman the starter over Donovan McNabb on Sunday in Dallas. December 17, 2010 11:42:26 AM ---------------------------------------- The Redskins are preparing to start Rex Grossman over Donovan McNabb at quarterback Sunday in Dallas, according to two people close to the situation. The news was first reported by Kelli Johnson of CSN Washington. Grossman has played in only one game this season - the Oct. 31 loss at Detroit in which Coach Mike Shanahan benched McNabb with one minute, 50 seconds remaining and inserted Grossman to run the two-minute offense. The move led to a tumultuous bye week for both McNabb and Shanahan, with national speculation about their relationship and the coaching staff's belief in McNabb's ability to run the offense. http://link.email.washingtonpost.com/r/92KH5M/26C0RS/D49EXX/V4CABF/IBEF5/MQ/h For more information, visit washingtonpost.com. ---------------------------------------- Explore Washington Post content in a whole new innovative way.
