McKee Pushes for Eagles' QB2 as Second-Team Shines in Preseason

Even in a loss to the Patriots, the Eagles’ backups flashed, with Tanner McKee outplaying Andy Dalton at QB2 (16-of-22, 173 yards, 2 TDs); Carson Steele showed versatility as a pass-catching back; Will Shipley and Darius Cooper provided meaningful offensive help; Ty Robinson harassed the line on defense, and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Joshua Weru delivered impact plays on that unit. The performance helped clarify several roster decisions ahead of the 53-man deadline, though Dalton, Ambry Thomas, Cole Payton, Michael Jordan, and Micah Morris offered drawbacks that could affect their spots.

Eagles Day 5 Camp: McKee Shines While Offense Struggles Without Key Receivers

Day 5 of Eagles camp was hot and uneven as Lane Johnson, DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon sat out; Markel Bell got first-team RT reps with Johnson out. Tanner McKee led the second-team QB reps and had his best day of camp, while Jalen Hurts struggled on deep shots, including an interception by Michael Carter on a pass intended for Hollywood Brown. Dontayvion Wicks had multiple solid catches, a red-zone moment with Darius Cooper nearly ruled in but went out of bounds, and the defense held its own, highlighting ongoing work on offensive rhythm during a 1 hour 50 minute practice.

Eagles' QB Factory Thrives with New Draft Picks and Jalen Hurts' Contract.

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to prioritize the quarterback position, selecting Stanford quarterback Tanner McKee in the sixth round of the NFL draft. Despite already having Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota on the roster, the Eagles believe in the importance of having depth at the position, citing the San Francisco 49ers' experience last season. McKee is a pocket passer with a big arm and will compete with Ian Book for the third quarterback job. The Eagles have a history of drafting quarterbacks in the late rounds or signing them as undrafted free agents, and if McKee develops, he could eventually become the backup quarterback.
