Eagles Face Backup Quarterback Question vs Giants as Tanner McKee Deals with Rib Injury

Eagles Face Backup Quarterback Question vs Giants as Tanner McKee Deals with Rib Injury
World Sports · 07:21:42 - Wednesday, 11 November 2026

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Joe Milton will start against the New York Giants, but the team faces uncertainty at the backup position with Tanner McKee nursing a cracked rib. The second-year signal-caller's availability for Sunday's matchup remains in question, leaving the Eagles to evaluate their options behind Milton.

McKee, who has served as the primary backup this season, sustained the rib injury during practice earlier this week. The Eagles' coaching staff is monitoring his progress closely but has not ruled him out for the divisional clash at MetLife Stadium.

If McKee cannot suit up, Philadelphia would need to elevate a quarterback from the practice squad or consider other roster moves to ensure adequate depth behind Milton. The Eagles enter the game looking to maintain their position in the NFC East standings.
