Tanner McKee to start at QB for the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles will turn to backup quarterback Tanner McKee to lead the offense in Week 6 after franchise starter Jalen Hurts was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Hurts’ absence comes after he was diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in his leg, forcing the team to adjust its starting lineup for the critical matchup.

McKee, who has been groomed as the primary backup, will now get his first opportunity to start under center for the Eagles, marking a significant shift in the team’s offensive approach. The decision follows Hurts’ indefinite sidelining, leaving McKee as the only viable option to guide Philadelphia’s offense in the short term.

The Panthers game, originally slated as Hurts’ return to action, now presents a pivotal moment for McKee and the Eagles’ depth chart moving forward.
