What happened: Joe Milton III will become the fourth quarterback to take snaps for Philadelphia during the 2026 regular season. The team named Milton its starter for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, moving Tanner McKee to the bench. The switch marks the franchise's third in-season change at the position.

Why it matters: Cycling through four passers highlights Philadelphia's persistent instability under center following a 27-10 loss to the Washington Commanders. The offense requires immediate traction while attempting to remain competitive in the NFC East. Milton provides arm strength and mobility as the coaching staff seeks sustained production.

What to watch: Milton leads the offense on Sunday against the New York Giants as Philadelphia looks to halt its offensive slide.
