The Philadelphia Eagles are replacing Tanner McKee with Joe Milton at quarterback for their upcoming game against the New York Giants. Multiple outlets report that McKee is being benched as the team turns to Milton as its starter for Week 9.
Coverage also places the move in-season and provides context on Milton’s background. The Athletic reports that Milton previously appeared in games for the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys before Philadelphia signed him on Oct. 16. Some outlets additionally frame the change as an attempt to halt a losing streak, while others focus on the roster decision itself.
Across reports, the central points are consistent: Milton is expected to start, McKee is moved to the bench, and the matchup is against the Giants. One additional detail appears in some coverage: that the start is expected to be Milton’s first career NFL start.
