What happened to Jalen Hurts? Latest update on the Eagles QB
Follow
The Philadelphia Eagles are shaking up their quarterback position once again after sliding to a two and six record following a defeat against the Washington Commanders. Tanner McKee is being benched in favor of Joe Milton, a decision coming on the heels of the franchise losing star signal-caller Jalen Hurts for the remainder of the campaign due to medical issues involving blood clots in his lung.
Head coach Nick Sirianni acknowledged that the organization purposely withheld the quarterback transition to create confusion for their upcoming opponents.
Beyond the ongoing instability under center, the front office is evaluating further roster adjustments as the trade deadline approaches, which could potentially include parting ways with McKee. Meanwhile, the coaching staff is contemplating shutting down wide receiver DeVonta Smith for the remainder of the year to manage a persistent injury, while owner Jeffrey Lurie reportedly holds influence over the recent directional shifts within the franchise.
