Joe Milton Will Replace Tanner McKee at Quarterback for Free Falling Eagles
The move comes after Philadelphia lost six straight games and McKee went 0-3 as the starter, according to team reports.
- On Wednesday, November 4, the Philadelphia Eagles named Joe Milton their starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, benching Tanner McKee, ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported.
- McKee went 0-3 as starter after Philadelphia lost Jalen Hurts to a blood clot that migrated to his lungs, forcing the organization to seek alternatives. His three starts featured 114 passes and continued offensive struggles.
- Philadelphia signed the 26-year-old Milton from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad last month, bringing the former New England Patriots quarterback who played college football at Michigan and Tennessee to the active roster.
- Philly hopes Milton can help snap a six-game losing skid when the Eagles host the NFC East-leading New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. The team also faces its Week 10 bye approaching.
- Head coach Sirianni previously stated, "Tanner's our guy, we're not making any changes there," before this week's pivot. The organization continues evaluating scheme and practice plays to address ongoing offensive struggles.
