Tanner McKee Expected to be Active as Backup Quarterback in Week 9

Sunday, November 8, 5:02 AM

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee (ribs) is expected to be active as the backup for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the New York Giants, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. McKee, who was demoted to the backup role earlier this week, is officially listed as questionable after suffering a cracked rib during the opening drive of last week's game against the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old's demotion to No. 2 on the depth chart is not a result of his injury, but rather a direct product of poor play. He has two touchdowns and three turnovers this season, including all three turnovers in his last two starts. McKee was thrust into action back in Week 6 with Jalen Hurts out for the year due to blood clots. McKee went 0-3 in his time as the starter, so the Eagles will turn to Milton in a desperate attempt to save their season. The 26-year-old is known for his strong arm and mobility, but accuracy has been an issue for him in the past.

J.J. McCarthy News

J.J. McCarthy a Low-End QB2 Against Commanders

Wednesday, November 11, 4:06 PM

New York Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hip) is off the injury report and slated to start in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders. McCarthy suffered a hip pointer during the Giants' 19-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles but practiced all week and is healthy enough to play Thursday night. In three games with the Giants this season, McCarthy has completed 43 of 68 passes for 622 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. McCarthy is set to face a Commanders defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Washington has also allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns in the NFL (16) and the third-most yards per game this season (240). While potential inclement weather could be a factor Thursday night, McCarthy should be considered a low-end QB2 in his first start for the Giants at MetLife Stadium.
