Getting his third career start with Jalen Hurts sidelined. Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in McKee after reviewing his previous game film. McKee is a true pocket passer without Hurts' mobility; the Eagles may limit design runs and instead distribute to Dallas Goddard and DeVonta Smith. He will have at least multiple weeks to operate as the starter.NegativeRoleOct 16, 2026
Tanner McKee is getting the start at quarterback for Philadelphia against the Panthers due to Jalen Hurts' absence; the source frames this as an opportunity for the Eagles to prove their toughness and overcome expectations of demise.NegativeRoleOct 16, 2026
Tanner McKee will start for the Eagles against Carolina in place of the injured Jalen Hurts. Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed confidence in McKee, stating he has a lot of faith in him after reviewing his previous game appearances.NegativeRoleOct 15, 2026
McKee is starting Week 6 against Carolina after Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis. He previously started Week 17 two years ago and helped the Eagles win the NFC East with two touchdowns on four passes in the second half. He struggled in summer competition with Andy Dalton and did not win that competition, but has a good arm and is a good processor. He is more familiar with the current offense than he was three months ago. However, he will be playing without at least three Day One starting offensive linemen, with starting wide receivers dealing with injuries, and Saquon Barkley absent from practice for two consecutive days—potentially six backups in the starting lineup.NegativeRoleOct 15, 2026
Tanner McKee is the new number one quarterback for the Eagles following Jalen Hurts' blood clot injury. He has had two previous starts in the final game of the season when the Eagles were resting starters, but this is a meaningful midseason game of significance, different from his previous week 18 appearances. He gets his shot now without Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith available, making it a tough spot for McKee. Two years ago he looked really good, entering in week 17 and helping the Eagles win the NFC East in the second half with two touchdowns on four passes.
