Limited at practice McKee (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Limited again Wednesday McKee (thumb) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Impact McKee was limited in practice last week but was inactive as the Eagles' QB3 behind Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell in last Sunday's win over the Chiefs. Once healthy, McKee has a chance to usurp Howell for QB2 duties.

Emergency QB for Week 2 McKee (thumb) is inactive but will serve as the Eagles' emergency third-string quarterback against the Chiefs on Sunday.

Impact McKee is still recovering from a fractured right thumb that he suffered during training camp. He will be the Eagles' third-string quarterback for Sunday's Super Bowl LIX rematch, which means he'll only see the field if both Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Misses Thursday's practice McKee (thumb) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Impact McKee continues to be sidelined due to a fractured right thumb that he suffered during training camp.

Sam Howell will continue to serve as Jalen Hurts' backup for as long as McKee is out of action.

Remains sidelined from practice McKee (right thumb) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice.

Impact McKee hasn't practiced since he was diagnosed with a fractured thumb on his right throwing hand on Aug. 24. Until he does so, he'll likely continue to yield backup QB duties to Sam Howell behind starter Jalen Hurts. Nonetheless, McKee will have two more chances this week to put himself in a position to return to action Sunday in Kansas City.

SEPTEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 1 McKee (thumb) did not practice Wednesday and is ruled out for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys.

Impact McKee won't be available at home versus Dallas in Week 1, leaving Sam Howell in position to serve as the top backup to quarterback Jalen Hurts. The 2023 sixth-round pick is working his way back from a thumb fracture on his right throwing hand suffered Aug. 24. His next chance to suit up will come Week 2 on the road at Kansas City on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Impact McKee is working through a right thumb fracture, which is severe enough for him to not throw and hold the ball with his left, non-throwing hand, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. It's looking increasingly unlikely that McKee will play in Thursday's regular-season opener against the Cowboys, which means Sam Howell will likely serve as the Eagles' QB2 behind starter Jalen Hurts.

Remains out of practice Monday McKee (thumb) didn't practice Monday.

Impact McKee is dealing with a fractured thumb and hasn't practiced for about two weeks. With Philadelphia's regular-season opener against Dallas taking place Thursday, it's looking likely that McKee won't be ready to suit up. If that's the case, Sam Howell would be in line to serve as the backup QB behind Jalen Hurts.
