The Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with major roster developments ahead of their Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers, primarily regarding quarterback Jalen Hurts being ruled out indefinitely with a blood clot. In response, Philadelphia signed quarterback Joe Milton off the Dallas Cowboys practice squad.
