The Facts:
McNair will have surgery to repair a partially torn rotator cuff tomorrow, ending a disappointing season for the Ravens' quarterback. The Ravens will place McNair on injured reserve at 4 p.m. today and sign kickoff specialist Rhys Lloyd off the practice squad. Reported by the Baltimore Sun

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Kyle Boller will make his third straight start for the Ravens tonight when they play the undefeated New England Patriots. Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith is the backup quarterback. ... In his 13th NFL season, McNair endured the worst slump of his career, committing 11 turnovers (four interceptions and seven fumbles) in six starts. Four years removed from sharing the NFL's Most Valuable Player award, McNair finishes 2007 with a 73.9 quarterback rating.
