Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles is out indefinitely due to a small blood clot. Tanner McKee will take over as the starting quarterback against the Carolina Panthers. McKee's performance has been mixed, with a difficult 2026 offseason and a lackluster showing in previous games raising doubts about his effectiveness. The Eagles' offensive struggles will persist without key players such as DeVonta Smith and possibly Saquon Barkley. The team's adjustment will focus on navigating the challenges posed by the Panthers' defense, which is dealing with injuries.
