Eagles sign QB Joe Milton off Cowboys practice squad
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles are signing quarterback Joe Milton from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad due to Jalen Hurts being out indefinitely with a blood clot.
- Milton, a 2024 sixth-round pick known for his strong arm, was originally drafted by the Patriots and traded to Dallas last year but has yet to start an NFL game.
- Milton has appeared in five games, completing 37 of 53 passes for 424 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, and rushing for 66 yards with one touchdown.
- The signing likely ends the possibility of a reunion with veteran Andy Dalton, who was recently released and considering multiple offers.
- The Eagles are set to play the Panthers on Sunday, with Tanner McKee expected to start at quarterback.
