From the episode

Tanner McKee is someone who two years ago looked really good. He entered the game in week 17, helped Eagles win the NFC East in the second half of that game through two touchdowns on four passes... He struggled this summer in competition with Andy Dalton, did not win that competition. But he does have a good arm. He's a good processor... He's down at least three day one starting offensive linemen. Their starting wide receivers are dealing with injuries. You mentioned Saquon Barkley. He wasn't at practice today for the second consecutive day.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

McKee starts Week 6 vs. Carolina with depleted Eagles roster around him.

McKee is starting Week 6 against Carolina after Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis. He previously started Week 17 two years ago and helped the Eagles win the NFC East with two touchdowns on four passes in the second half. He struggled in summer competition with Andy Dalton and did not win that competition, but has a good arm and is a good processor. He is more familiar with the current offense than he was three months ago. However, he will be playing without at least three Day One starting offensive linemen, with starting wide receivers dealing with injuries, and Saquon Barkley absent from practice for two consecutive days—potentially six backups in the starting lineup.
