Sources: Slumping Eagles turn to Milton as starting QB vs. Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles will turn to Joe Milton as their starting quarterback Sunday against the New York Giants, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Milton will be Philadelphia's third different starter under center this season and will replace Tanner McKee, who has started the past three games.

The Eagles (2-6) signed Milton off the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad on Oct. 16, one day before they placed Jalen Hurts on injured reserve.

The Eagles and Hurts' agent announced two days later that the franchise quarterback would be sidelined indefinitely after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in both of his lungs.
