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.
