Joe Milton could play his way into the Eagles' long-term plans
The Philadelphia Eagles are in the middle of a six-game slide, as they are 2-6 entering Week 9. With the New York Giants next, the Eagles decided to make a change at quarterback. They will start Joe Milton over Tanner McKee in this divisional bout.
McKee got the starting role when Jalen Hurts was placed on IR, but the results weren't pretty. Over three games, he completed 63 percent of his passes for 638 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Philadelphia also went 0-3 during that stretch and failed to score more than 21 points in any game.
The Eagles need more from that position, which opens the door for Milton to make an impact that can extend beyond 2026.
