Devon Platana· Oct 19, 2026
Platana expects Tanner McKee to remain Philadelphia's starting quarterback the rest of the season with Jalen Hurts out, while Joe Milton could get a look after the Week 10 bye; he also frames the Eagles' post-bye stretch against Dallas, Arizona and Indianapolis as winnable games.
“Again, McKee is the Eagles' starting quarterback moving forward, barring a massive disaster.”
