Eagles start Tanner McKee against Panthers as Jalen Hurts is sidelined

The Philadelphia Eagles face the Carolina Panthers on October 18 without star quarterback Jalen Hurts, who has been placed on injured reserve due to a blood clot. Tanner McKee will start for the Eagles in Hurts' absence. The Panthers, sitting at 2-2, have the league's top-ranked passing offense led by Bryce Young, who is averaging 317 passing yards per game. The Eagles, lacking offensive firepower with Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley out, will look to their defense for support against a Panthers team that has struggled defensively this season.
