Eagles still trying to salvage NFC East crown without Hurts as they host Cowboys on Monday night

McKee gets a longer prep week as Philadelphia tries to end a four-game skid and keep slim NFC East hopes alive, with Hurts sidelined by blood clots.

  • Tanner McKee will start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, stepping in for Jalen Hurts, who is on injured reserve with a season-ending blood clot diagnosis.
  • Heading into Monday night's game, the Philadelphia Eagles have lost four consecutive contests for the first time since 2020, scoring only 58 points during the skid under Coach Nick Sirianni.
  • The Philadelphia Eagles offense faces significant personnel challenges with Saquon Barkley and his two primary backups sidelined by injuries. Dameon Pierce was the only running back to carry the ball during Sunday's 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
  • Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed Wednesday he anticipates no further coaching changes this season, though the Cowboys rank 30th in league defense under Christian Parker and scored just 29 points combined over two losses.
  • Despite a 2-4 record, the Philadelphia Eagles remain in contention within the NFC East, where McKee must lead the team into playoff contention. The New York Giants hold a middling 3-2-1 record, making the division wide open.
