Overview
- The Eagles lost 27-7 to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, a game that turned on multiple turnovers including an interception by Andy Dalton four plays after he replaced Jalen Hurts on Monday.
- Dalton called the pick a “costly turnover” and said he missed a safety read that put the team in a bad spot late in the red zone.
- Commentators and some team insiders have urged the Eagles to move Tanner McKee ahead of Dalton on the depth chart after McKee’s preseason work and Dalton’s poor in-game showing.
- Sirianni has publicly expressed faith in the full quarterback room and refused to commit to a QB2, while the team continues to carry four quarterbacks to protect a developing rookie and because trade options were scarce.
- The next steps to watch are whether the Eagles publicly change their depth chart before Week 4 and how a roster move would free a spot for other needs or alter game-day contingency planning, with coaches also noting incremental progress from rookie receiver Makai Lemon.
