"Expected to be on his way out of Washington after the NFL lockout ends, quarterback Donovan McNabb instead was one of about 20 quarterbacks and receivers -- predominantly members of the Arizona Cardinals -- who took part in a Wednesday workout in Phoenix, organized by receiver Larry Fitzgerald, the Arizona Republic reported.

McNabb, who lives in nearby Chandler, Ariz., and Baltimore Ravens receiver Todd Heap, who played college football at Arizona State, joined Cardinals quarterbacks John Skelton, Max Hall and Rich Bartell and receivers Steve Breaston, Stephen Williams and 2011 seventh-round draft pick Demarco Sampson. The "low-key" workout was closed to all but one member of the media.

I always believe in a low profile," McNabb said. "Guys get a chance to work and it's not something you're broadcasting all over the place, telling everybody what you doing and who is in town and all of that."
