Joe Milton III Named Eagles Starting QB for Week 9 vs. Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles are benching Tanner McKee and starting Joe Milton III at quarterback against the New York Giants. Milton, acquired off the Cowboys' practice squad on October 16, will make his first career NFL start. The slumping Eagles hope the 6-foot-5, strong-armed passer's mobility and dual-threat skill set can spark an offense that has lost six straight games following starter Jalen Hurts' season-ending injury.
