Eagles ready for the 49ers after losing the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs

The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for the playoffs despite losing the No. 2 seed after resting starters in a game against Washington

JANUARY 5 • Associated Press

Inconsistent in Week 18 loss McKee completed 21 of 40 passes for 241 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders. He added two rushes for three yards.

Impact Jalen Hurts was active for the game but did not play, leaving McKee with the chance for a spot start. McKee was unsurprisingly inconsistent, leading an impressive 80-yard scoring drive that he capped off with a 15-yard throw to Greg Calcaterra early in the second quarter. However, he otherwise largely struggled, with the Eagles' only other touchdown coming on a short field due to a Washington turnover. McKee will return to a reserve role for Philadelphia's playoff run and for the foreseeable future.

Spot start imminent? McKee is in line to start Sunday against the Commanders.

Impact Despite QB Jalen Hurts not being included on the Eagles' list of inactives Sunday, he isn't expected to see the field. As McKee did Week 18 of last year when the Eagles sat many of their healthy starters, McKee will get the nod under center Sunday after completing 27 of 41 passes for 269 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing three times for one yard in the 2024 regular-season finale. With Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert (knee) also candidates to sit out, McKee's likely targets in the spot start will include WRs Jahan Dotson, Darius Cooper and Britain Covey, TEs Grant Calcaterra, Kylen Granson and Cameron Latu and RBs Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley and AJ Dillon.

Eagles' risky move: Set to rest key starters against Washington in bid for No. 2 seed

The Super Bowl champion Eagles are preparing to play for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, but they will do so without several key starters

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • Associated Press

Expected to start Week 18 McKee is expected to start Sunday's game against the Commanders, according to ESPN's Tim McManus.

Impact Eagles coach Nick Sirianni hasn't publicly disclosed his plans, but he hinted Wednesday that he planned to do so after discussing everything with the team. It sounds like Sirianni plans to hold out QB Jalen Hurts and other starters.

Plays late in Week 15 blowout McKee rushed once for nine yards and completed all three of his pass attempts for 33 yards in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.

Impact With the Eagles building a comfortable lead by the early part of the fourth quarter, head coach Nick Sirianni opted to hold Jalen Hurts out for the final possession of the afternoon and turned over the offense to McKee. The backup signal-caller proceeded to lead a 17-play drive that chewed up 11:22 of game time but ultimately stalled out deep in Raiders territory on a failed 4th-and-goal run by Tank Bigsby. The appearance was just the second of the campaign for McKee, who is unlikely to get extended run over the final three games of the regular season unless Hurts misses time due to injury or is rested in Week 18 if the Eagles' playoff positioning is secure.

Ready to go for Week 4 McKee (thumb) was a full participant at practice Friday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

Impact McKee will be back in his role as the primary reserve option at quarterback behind Jalen Hurts in Week 4. McKee had served as the team's emergency third QB each of the last two weeks while nursing a thumb injury.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again to open Week 4 McKee (thumb) participated in practice in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Impact McKee has now been limited in each of the Eagles' past three practice sessions dating back to last week. He's yet to be active on gameday this season but has served as the emergency third QB each of the past two weeks. McKee seems to be trending in the right direction and could be active as Jalen Hurts' backup as soon as this Sunday versus Tampa Bay.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Working as emergency QB in Week 3 McKee (thumb) is inactive but is serving as the Eagles' emergency third quarterback Sunday against the Rams, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact McKee continues to work his way back from surgery on a fractured right thumb and is serving as Philly's emergency third QB for the second straight week. Until he's advanced enough in his recovery, Sam Howell will likely continue to get the gameday nod as the backup quarterback behind Jalen Hurts.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rams vs. Eagles Inactives Azeez Ojulari, Ogbo Okoronkwo, Drew Kendall, and Tanner McKee are all inactive for the third straight game.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2025 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM

Questionable for Week 3 McKee (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact McKee remained limited in practice this week. If he's unable to suit up for Sunday's game, Sam Howell will once again serve as the QB2 behind Jalen Hurts.
