Hurts Out, Eagles Eye Dalton Reunion
15 Oct
Summary
- Jalen Hurts will miss the upcoming game due to a blood clot.
- Tanner McKee is expected to start at quarterback for the Eagles.
- Andy Dalton is being considered for a return to the team.
The Philadelphia Eagles have sustained a significant health blow as quarterback Jalen Hurts is reportedly out for their Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Hurts is dealing with a superficial blood clot, an issue that surfaced leading up to their previous game.
With Hurts unavailable, the Eagles are expected to elevate backup Tanner McKee to the starting quarterback position. This situation has also led the team to consider bringing back Andy Dalton. Dalton, who spent several months with the Eagles this season and was initially their primary backup, is reportedly an option for a return.
Dalton was later demoted to third-string and released before the team's trip to London. However, his prior experience with the team and the current depth chart situation make him a familiar face the Eagles might re-sign. If no other quarterback is added, the Eagles would enter Sunday's game with McKee starting and rookie Cole Payton as the backup.
