McKee, 26, has started the last three games in place of Jalen Hurts, who is out for the rest of the season with blood clots. McKee, the former sixth-round pick, is now 0-3 this season and has completed 63.2% of his passes for 638 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. In Sunday's loss to the Commanders, McKee was sacked five times and fumbled once. He struggled with his pocket awareness in the loss. But McKee will start in Week 9 against the Giants before the Eagles finally get to their bye week.

McKee locked in as starter despite 0-3 record and poor pocket awareness.

McKee will remain the Eagles' starting quarterback despite a 0-3 record in his three starts this season. He has completed 63.2% of his passes for 638 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions through eight games. In Sunday's loss to the Commanders, McKee was sacked five times, fumbled once, and struggled with pocket awareness. Sirianni stated 'Tanner's our guy. We're not making any changes there,' indicating McKee will start Week 9 against the Giants before the Eagles' bye week, though the team is searching for offensive solutions within scheme and practice plays.
