McGee took over for an injured Tony Romo on Saturday in a 20-7 loss to Philly.|||||||

Jon Kitna is listed as questionable for the Dallas Cowboys' season finale. Kitna did not practice again Friday, increasing the odds that McGee will make the first start of his NFL career Sunday in Philadelphia.|||||||
