Eagles backup quarterback Tanner McKee has been ruled questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Giants due to a rib injury. This decision comes shortly after McKee was benched for Joe Milton. If McKee cannot play, rookie Cole Payton will serve as the top backup. Following Jalen Hurts' placement on injured reserve, McKee was given the starting role in Week 6, where he threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions in three games. The Eagles are considering trading McKee before the NFL trade deadline, which would enable Payton or Milton to take over as the backup for the season.
