Tanner McKee is listed as the third quarterback for Philly in the inactive list, a depth option in case Hurts or Minshew encounters issues.

McKee inactive, testing Eagles' quarterback depth behind Hurts and potential game-time decisions.

McKee fractured thumb, out of practice; Howell placed as QB2 behind Hurts, signaling anticipation of a return by Week 3 or 4. McKee’s absence keeps the backup role stable for another game, reinforcing Howell's fantasy relevance as a short-term spot starter in certain formats if Hurts misses time.

Tanner McKee drives the PHI offense with a growing command in play-calling and collaboration with the offensive mind. His emergence is tied to the team’s plan to push for more points while refining ball security and execution, signaling potential fantasy upside if he cements a larger role.

McKee is out with a right-thumb injury, sidelining him for the opener. Hurts is the obvious starter, Howell sits as the likely top backup, and Kyle McCord would only be emergency depth if signed to the 53-man roster. McKee’s absence compresses the backup plan and tests Week 1 depth.
