Summary
- Jalen Hurts' indefinite absence forces Eagles to seek new quarterback options.
- Veteran Andy Dalton declined the Eagles' offer to rejoin the team.

The Philadelphia Eagles are navigating a challenging period with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts out indefinitely. This situation has necessitated immediate adjustments to the team's quarterback depth chart.
Tanner McKee recently started for the Eagles against the Panthers. The team also has rookie Cole Payton on its roster and has added Joe Milton from a practice squad.
In an effort to bolster their quarterback options, the Eagles sought to re-sign veteran Andy Dalton. However, Dalton has politely declined their offer to return. Dalton has a long history with several NFL teams, including the Bengals and Cowboys.
Dalton is expected to sign with a new team in the very near future. This move could potentially create an opening on another team's roster, making that player a viable option for the Eagles. The team's quarterback strategy continues to evolve.
