The Philadelphia Eagles are grappling with a significant quarterback crisis as they navigate the remainder of the 2026 season without their star quarterback, Jalen Hurts. Hurts is expected to miss the entire year due to complications from blood clot issues, raising serious concerns about the team's future at the position. With the Eagles' playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the decision-making surrounding their quarterback depth has come under scrutiny.

In Week 6, the Eagles turned to Tanner McKee as their starting quarterback, a move that followed a tumultuous period for the team's quarterback roster. Initially, McKee was engaged in a competition for the backup role with veteran Andy Dalton. However, after Dalton's performance in Week 3, where he was called into action when Hurts was briefly sidelined, the Eagles shifted their depth chart, promoting McKee to the primary backup role.
