Jason Campbell will remain the Washington Redskins' starting quarterback.
Coach Jim Zorn said on his radio show that he will stick with Campbell for Monday night's game with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Campbell was benched at halftime of Sunday's 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Todd Collins played the second half, but neither quarterback was able to mount a touchdown drive against a defense that entered the game ranked last in the NFL.
Zorn said Campbell missed some open receivers against the Chiefs but added: "I didn't give up on the young man."
Campbell went 9-for-16 for 89 yards and an interception. Collins, making his first appearance since the 2007 season, finished 6-for-14 for 75 yards.
For the season, Campbell has thrown for six touchdowns, six interceptions and has completed 65.6 percent of his passes. His 84.3 quarterback rating ranks 19th in the NFL.
BROWNS: Linebacker D'Qwell Jackson (Maryland), who led the NFL in tackles last season with 188 and was a Pro Bowl alternate, will miss the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury.
Jackson, the team's leading tackler this season, was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after he damaged his shoulder during the first half of a 27-14 loss at Pittsburgh.
Jackson, 26, a defensive captain, was injured in the second quarter Sunday. He faces possible surgery.
PATRIOTS: New England released wide receiver Joey Galloway, 37, who had signed with the team as a free agent after 14 seasons. He played in three games and had seven receptions for 67 yards.
MCNAIR: Former Ravens quarterback Steve McNair's mistress exchanged messages for weeks with the man who sold her the gun she used to kill McNair and herself, Nashville police said.
The findings came a day after investigators released 50 text messages between McNair and Sahel Kazemi they say supports their conclusion of a murder-suicide because she was desperate over money and feared their relationship was ending.
Police spokesman Don Aaron said Kazemi also was in contact weeks before the July 4 killings with Adrian Gilliam, who pleaded guilty to gun charges for selling the weapon to her.
Aaron declined to say more about the exchange of messages, first reported by CBS News, because Gilliam was awaiting sentencing in December. Police say Kazemi bought the gun from Gilliam the night of July 3, and used it hours later.
"The Police Department has been aware that their relationship was more than we were initially led to believe," Aaron told the Associated Press.
According CBS, Gilliam and Kazemi exchanged more than 200 calls more than three weeks before the murder-suicide, including 49 texts and calls the day before.
Police also said Kazemi texted McNair on July 3 to say she was so stressed she might have a breakdown and asked for $2,000 to pay bills. Texts show McNair had someone transfer the money.
Aaron repeated Tuesday that there's no reason to believe the case should be reopened.
