  • Eagles' Tanner McKee: Set to back up Hurts in 2025

    Rotowire

    McKee is in line to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Jalen Hurts for the 2025 season after the Eagles traded Kenny Pickett to the Browns on Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    McKee spent most of the 2024 campaign as the Eagles' emergency quarterback behind Hurts and Pickett. McKee did appear in two games and started in the Eagles' regular-season finale against the Giants, during which he completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. The 2023 seventh-round pick should be the favorite to be the Eagles' backup quarterback in 2025 unless another QB is added through free agency or the draft.

  • Eagles' Tanner McKee: Makes two appearances in 2024

    Rotowire

    McKee completed 30 of 45 pass attempts (67 percent) for 323 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions across two regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024. He also rushed five times for minus-one yards.

    McKee played 34 percent of offensive snaps Week 17, with Jalen Hurts in the concussion protocol and backup Kenny Pickett having been forced out early due to a ribs injury, and he then started the team's Week 18 regular-season finale against New York. Having shown out well in limited action, McKee seems a solid candidate to reprise his No. 3 quarterback role behind Hurts and Pickett during the 2025 season. He has two years remaining on his deal with Philadelphia.

  • Eagles' Tanner McKee: Serving as emergency option

    Rotowire

    McKee (coach's decision) is inactive and serving as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    McKee will handle his typical role as Philadelphia's emergency third quarterback for the Super Bowl. Although technically inactive, he will be suited up for the game. To be eligible to play, both Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett would need to become unable to play due to injury, illness or ejection.

  • Eagles' Tanner McKee: Returns to No. 3 role

    Rotowire

    McKee was inactive as the Eagles' emergency No. 3 quarterback for Sunday's 22-10 wild-card win over the Packers.

    Though Jalen Hurts cleared concussion protocol and returned to the starting role after missing the final two games of the regular season, McKee looked as though he might have made a case to replace Kenny Pickett as the Eagles' No. 2 signal-caller based on his performance in Weeks 17 and 18. Pickett started and played the majority of the Eagles' 41-7 win over the Cowboys in Week 17, but he left that game early with a rib injury to pave the way for McKee to take his first NFL snaps. McKee completed three of four attempts for 54 yards and two touchdowns in relief, then started the Week 18 win over the Giants while both Hurts and Pickett were sidelined and completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns. Despite McKee's strong showing the previous two games, the Eagles ultimately elected to keep him in the No. 3 role for the playoff opener with Pickett displaying enough progress in his recovery from the injury in practice this past week to suit up as Hurts' top backup.

  • Eagles' Tanner McKee: Goes distance in Week 18 win

    Rotowire

    McKee completed 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants. He added one yard on three carries.

    Kenny Pickett was cleared for action after missing practice all week due to a rib issue, but he didn't see a snap as McKee played the whole game in his first NFL start. Despite not having top stars like Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith at his disposal as the Eagles rested players ahead of the postseason, McKee still put together an impressive effort, hitting Ainias Smith for a 15-yard TD in the first quarter and E.J. Jenkins for a seven-yard score in the fourth. McKee will return to the bench when Philly begins its playoff run next weekend with a home game against the Packers, but the 2023 sixth-round pick may have shown enough late this season to give the team confidence that he can be the No. 2 QB behind Jalen Hurts (concussion) in 2025.

  • Eagles' Tanner McKee: Confirmed as Week 18 starter

    Rotowire

    McKee will start at quarterback in Sunday's game against the Giants, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Though Kenny Pickett is active for the contest after starting in the Week 17 win over Dallas in place of Jalen Hurts (concussion/finger), Pickett isn't likely to be available in anything more than an emergency after not practicing this week due to a rib injury. Pickett sustained the injury late in the Week 17 victory, allowing McKee to step in for his first NFL snaps. McKee completed three of four pass attempts for 54 yards and two touchdowns in the win, and he'll now get his first extended action to date in Week 18. However, with the Eagles holding out running back Saquon Barkley (rest), receivers A.J. Brown (knee) and DeVonta Smith (wrist), offensive tackles Lane Johnson (rest) and Jordan Mailata (rest) and left guard Landon Dickerson (rest), McKee could struggle to produce.

  • Eagles' Tanner McKee: Expecting to start Week 18

    Rotowire

    McKee is preparing to start Sunday's game against the Giants, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    The Eagles are locked in as the NFC's No. 2 seed and thus have no reason to rush Jalen Hurts (concussion) or Kenny Pickett (ribs) back from their respective injuries. McKee fared well in his Week 17 cameo, completing three of four passes for 54 yards and two TDs after replacing an injured Pickett. Things will be tougher this week, with McKee presumably throwing to backups rather than A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

  • Eagles' Tanner McKee: Impressive in emergency duty

    Rotowire

    McKee entered Sunday's 41-7 win over the Cowboys for Kenny Pickett (ribs) with 8:47 remaining in the third quarter and completed three of four passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns while rushing twice for minus-2 yards.

    The Eagles went up 27-7 on a Jake Elliott field goal two plays into McKee's time in the game, so the young signal-caller wasn't asked to do much the rest of the way. However, McKee was far from a passive game manager, hitting A.J. Brown for a 20-yard touchdown down the left sideline on his first full drive and capping off his second possession with a 25-yard scoring strike to DeVonta Smith. McKee may well line up to start the Week 18 finale against the Giants if the Eagles' playoff positioning is locked in, considering the team is likely to prioritize the health of both Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Pickett ahead of the postseason.
