The Story in 60 Seconds

The Philadelphia Eagles will start quarterback Joe Milton on Sunday against the New York Giants, according to league sources. Milton becomes Philadelphia's third different starting quarterback of the season, taking over from Tanner McKee despite head coach Nick Sirianni initially stating earlier in the week that McKee would retain the starting role.

Philadelphia signed Milton from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad in mid-October before placing Jalen Hurts on injured reserve due to blood clots in his lungs. The Eagles have dropped six straight games to sit at 2-6, prompting the switch following McKee's three-game stretch under center.
