The Philadelphia Eagles have officially named Tanner McKee as their emergency quarterback for the upcoming Week 16, following a series of injury challenges facing the team. This decision comes as a significant update for the Eagles, who are navigating their playoff aspirations while dealing with a strained quarterback situation. Head Coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that McKee, a rookie from Stanford, will step into the role should the need arise during their game against the New York Giants this Sunday. McKee’s designation as an emergency QB is particularly crucial given Jalen Hurts’ ongoing recovery from a sprained shoulder and Gardner Minshew’s recent matchup struggles. Sirianni stated, ‘Tanner has shown the ability to step up when called upon. We have full confidence in his preparedness.’ With the playoffs in sight, the Eagles are keen on ensuring their quarterback depth offers them the flexibility they need amidst adversity. With McKee in the mix, the team hopes to maintain their momentum and secure a strong finish to the regular season.
