From @NFLGameDay Kickoff: Looking at what’s next for the #Eagles with QB Jalen Hurts out indefinitely, as Tanner McKee s Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: Philadelphia enters the rest of its 2026 regular-season schedule without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts. Tanner McKee steps to the forefront after his Oct. 4 elevation to No. 2.

Why it matters: Hurts started all 16 games in 2025, throwing for 3,224 yards with 25 touchdowns against 6 interceptions. Losing that production moves Philadelphia from a settled starter to testing its quarterback depth during the regular season.

By the numbers: In 2025 with Philadelphia, Jalen Hurts completed 294 of 454 passes for 3,224 yards, 25 touchdowns and 6 interceptions in 16 games.

What to watch: Philadelphia's practice participation and game-day inactive list will show how the quarterback room lines up behind McKee.
