Sits in consecutive weeks Payton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact With Jalen Hurts as the starter, Andy Dalton as the backup and Tanner McKee as the emergency third quarterback, there is just no role for Payton with the current Eagles' active roster.

Impact The fifth-round rookie is the No. 4 quarterback on the roster. Jalen Hurts, Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee (coach's decision) as the emergency quarterback all take precedence over the young player out of North Dakota State.
