QB Joe Milton: Maybe the Eagles really do just ride it out with backup quarterback Tanner McKee in place of Jalen Hurts. But there's some definite intrigue with Milton. The Eagles signed him off the Cowboys' practice squad on Oct. 16 and it didn't take long for Milton to supplant Cole Payton as the new backup. The 26-year-old Milton (6-5, 236) has played in just five career games but the former sixth-round pick has plenty of arm talent... if McKee continues to struggle, it would be fun to see Milton get a chance.

Milton's arm talent and quick ascent to backup make him intrigue if McKee falters.

Milton, a 26-year-old 6-5, 236-lb former sixth-round pick, was signed off the Cowboys' practice squad on Oct. 16 and quickly supplanted Cole Payton as the Eagles' backup QB. He has played in just five career games but possesses significant arm talent with a highlight reel from his 2023 Tennessee season showing big-arm plays and ability to elude pressure, though consistency has been an issue. The source suggests if McKee continues to struggle, it would be interesting to see Milton get a chance in this lost season.
