Eagles Expected To Rest Jalen Hurts In Finale, With Tanner McKee Set To Start

Philadelphia prioritizes playoff health over a shot at the No. 2 seed.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the Eagles plan to sit most starters in Week 18 against Washington, with Tanner McKee expected to replace Jalen Hurts at quarterback.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni said the team is nearing a decision and will speak with players before finalizing inactives.
  • The Philadelphia Inquirer reported roughly 10 key starters are expected to be inactive, with a similar number dressing but not playing.
  • Philadelphia holds the NFC’s No. 3 seed and can move to No. 2 only with a win plus a Chicago Bears loss to the Detroit Lions.
  • McKee started the 2024 finale and went 27-of-41 for 269 yards and two touchdowns, and a solid outing could renew offseason trade interest in the third-year QB.
