The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly benching quarterback Tanner McKee and naming Joe Milton as the starter for Sunday's Week 9 game against the New York Giants. The change marks Milton's first career NFL start, coming just three weeks after Philadelphia signed him off the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad on October 16.

Head coach Nick Sirianni previously stated he would stick with McKee, who struggled during three starts following starter Jalen Hurts' season-ending lung condition. Milton, a 2024 sixth-round draft pick by the New England Patriots, has appeared in five NFL games, completing 37 of 53 passes for 424 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
