Washington's embattled coach, Jim Zorn, said yesterday that Jason Campbell will remain the Washington Redskins' starting quarterback at least for the game Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Campbell was benched at halftime of the 14-6 loss Sunday 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. 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.

The Redskins also made several roster moves, signing tackle Levi Jones, running back Quinton Ganther and defensive end Renaldo Wynn. They released punter Glenn Pakulak, and running backs Anthony Alridge and Marcus Mason.

Jones is the most notable addition, adding depth to an offensive line missing injured starters Chris Samuels and Randy Thomas. Pakulak punted in the past two games for the Redskins, subbing subbed for Hunter Smith, who is recovering from a groin injury.

Philadelphia acquired linebacker Will Witherspoon from the St. Louis Rams for rookie wide receiver Brandon Gibson and a fifth-round pick in 2010. With their defense hurt by ineffective play from the linebackers, the Eagles wanted to add a veteran presence quickly, and, in Witherspoon, they got an eight-year veteran who had been starting for the lowly Rams.

Defensive tackle Orien Harris, a fourth-round draft pick of the Steelers in 2006, signed with Cincinnati, which had an open roster spot after defensive end Antwan Odom was lost for the season with a torn right Achilles' tendon.

New England released wide receiver Joey Galloway and signed tight end Michael Matthews. Galloway, Seattle's first-round pick in 1995, had signed with the Patriots as a free agent. He played in three games and had seven receptions for 67 yards.

Walt Daniels, 66, a member of the San Diego's game-day staff, died 12 hours after falling out of the press box and apparently landing in his head before the Chargers' loss Monday night against Denver.

Carolina waived defensive tackle Antwon Burton, creating a roster spot for newly acquired defensive tackle Tank Tyler. The Panthers sent their 2010 fifth-round pick to Kansas City late Monday for Tyler, who is expected to split time with Hollis Thomas at nose tackle. The Panthers also signed undrafted rookie defensive tackle Rashaad Duncan from Pitt to the practice squad and released Terrance Taylor, who was signed last week. Duncan was cut by Tampa Bay last month and the Buccaneers cut him from their practice squad last week.
