Eagles name Tanner McKee backup quarterback against Rams, replaces Andy Dalton

The Eagles have appointed Tanner McKee as the backup quarterback ahead of their game against the Rams on October 8, 2026. McKee takes over from Andy Dalton, who will now serve as the team's third quarterback. The decision follows Dalton's interception in the previous game against Chicago, where he filled in for Jalen Hurts. With key offensive players ruled out for the matchup, McKee's role becomes crucial if Hurts needs to exit the game.
