McNabb told the Philadelphia Daily News that he will start the game, but will be wearing protection over his cracked rib, which he broke in the season opener against Carolina.
He also said that he still experiences discomfort whenever he laughs, coughs or sleeps and that he doesn't expect the injury to be fully healed for another couple of weeks.
Kevin Kolb, who lost his first career start against New Orleans in Week 2, but threw for 327 yards and two scores with a rushing touchdown in a 34-14 win against Kansas City, will return to his backup role.
McNabb played all 16 regular season games last season, but it was the first time since the 2003 campaign that he appeared in all regular season games under center.
