Eagles signing Cowboys QB Joe Milton to active roster

The Philadelphia Eagles have added quarterback Joe Milton to their active 53-man roster, signing him from the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad. The move comes as the Eagles face an injury setback with starting QB Jalen Hurts ruled out indefinitely due to a reported superficial blood clot, leaving his availability for future games uncertain.

Milton, who had previously impressed during the preseason, was not promoted to Dallas’ roster and instead cleared waivers before joining their practice squad. The Eagles now have two former Cowboys offensive players on their practice squad, including Jaydon Blue, as they navigate a challenging stretch with their star quarterback sidelined.

The Cowboys will face the Eagles next week in Philadelphia, adding further context to the roster shuffle.

Milton’s addition reflects the Eagles’ need for depth at quarterback, especially with Hurts’ status in question. The Cowboys’ decision not to elevate Milton to their active roster may have opened the door for Philadelphia to secure his services.

With the season’s outcome hanging in the balance for both teams, this move could have immediate implications for the Eagles’ depth chart and future game plans.
