Set to start against Giants McKee will start Sunday against the Giants although Kenny Pickett (ribs) is active, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact The Eagles are locked in as the NFC's No. 2 seed and thus have no reason to rush Jalen Hurts (concussion), who is inactive, or Pickett (ribs) back from their respective injuries. McKee fared well in his Week 17 cameo, completing three of four passes for 54 yards and two TDs after replacing an injured Pickett. Things will be tougher this week, with McKee throwing to backups rather than A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, who are both inactive.

Impressive in emergency duty McKee entered Sunday's 41-7 win over the Cowboys for Kenny Pickett (ribs) with 8:47 remaining in the third quarter and completed three of four passes for 54 yards and two touchdown...

Impact The Eagles went up 27-7 on a Jake Elliott field goal two plays into McKee's time in the game, so the young signal-caller wasn't asked to do much the rest of the way. However, McKee was far from a passive game manager, hitting A.J. Brown for a 20-yard touchdown down the left sideline on his first full drive and capping off his second possession with a 25-yard scoring strike to DeVonta Smith. McKee may well line up to start the Week 18 finale against the Giants if the Eagles' playoff positioning is locked in, considering the team is likely to prioritize the health of both Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Pickett ahead of the postseason.

Next man up after Hurts, Pickett McKee is currently the healthiest quarterback in the Eagles organization after starter Jalen Hurts (concussion) and top backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) suffered injuries in Sunday's 36...

Impact A 2023 sixth-round pick, McKee is in his second season in the Philadelphia organization but is still waiting to make his NFL debut. He's been inactive all season as the Eagles' emergency No. 3 quarterback, but he could have an opportunity to move up one or two rungs on the depth chart for Sunday's game against Dallas, pending the statuses of Hurts and Pickett. Per Zach Berman of The Athletic, Sirianni confirmed Monday that Hurts remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, while the team didn't have an update on Pickett, who underwent an X-ray on his ribs after taking a hard hit in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's contest. McKee last saw competition action in the preseason, when he completed 34 of 56 pass attempts (60.7 percent) for 294 yards (5.3 YPA), zero touchdowns and one interception while carrying seven times for three yards over three games.
