Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan, who on Sunday said he benched quarterback Donovan McNabb late in the loss to the Detroit Lions because McNabb had not mastered the two-minute offense, on Monday introduced an additional explanation for his decision. McNabb, Shanahan said, has battled lower-body injuries that have eliminated his practice time in the hurry-up offense and hindered his conditioning.
