What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles are naming Joe Milton their starting quarterback and benching Tanner McKee for Sunday's matchup against the New York Giants, according to ESPN. McKee took over as the Eagles starting quarterback in late October after starter Jalen Hurts was sidelined with blood clots. The decision gives Milton his first starting opportunity with the franchise.

Why it matters: The move comes following Philadelphia's 27-10 road loss to the Washington Commanders on Nov. 1. With Hurts expected to miss multiple months due to pulmonary blood clots, the Eagles are seeking offensive stability under center.

What to watch: Milton will lead the offense when Philadelphia faces the New York Giants on Sunday.
