Eagles sign QB Joe Milton off Dallas Cowboys practice squad
Philadelphia added Joe Milton to bolster quarterback depth after Jalen Hurts was ruled out with a superficial blood clot.
On Friday, the Philadelphia Eagles signed quarterback Joe Milton to their 53-man roster, adding him directly from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad to bolster their quarterback depth.
Starter Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers after the Eagles announced Thursday he has a superficial blood clot in his calf, creating the need for roster depth.
Milton, a 26-year-old former New England Patriots sixth-round pick, appeared in four games for Dallas during the 2025 season, throwing for 183 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.
Tanner McKee will step in as starter for this weekend's matchup, while Milton joins the active roster alongside rookie Cole Payton to provide emergency quarterback depth for the Eagles.
Milton could potentially face the Cowboys as soon as Week 7 when the teams meet in Philadelphia, depending on the status of the Eagles' quarterback room and Hurts' recovery timeline.
