Eagles could start Tanner McKee for an extended stretch: 5 QBs they could add to challenge him
NJ.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been diagnosed with a blood clot, with recovery timelines ranging from one week to potentially the entire season, depending on severity and treatment.
- If Hurts is sidelined long-term, backup Tanner McKee is expected to start, though the Eagles may seek additional quarterback options due to concerns about McKee's consistency.
- Potential quarterback acquisitions include Gardner Minshew, who has prior experience with the Eagles and a solid backup track record, and Anthony Richardson, a high-upside but inconsistent former first-round pick.
- Other possible targets are Spencer Rattler, who has shown potential despite a poor starting record, Aidan O’Connell, a reliable backup with decent stats, and Stetson Bennett, who lacks experience but understands a similar offensive system.
- The Eagles could also consider re-signing Andy Dalton, though he is not viewed as an upgrade over McKee, and may explore trades to bolster quarterback depth during Hurts' absence.
