From the article

I think Tanner [McKee] played solid, but this is just what I felt like we needed to do right at this particular moment to give ourselves the best chance to win this weekend... McKee will relegate to the backup position, saying they'll see how it goes — the other QB on the roster is rookie Cole Payton, so it seems silly to suggest McKee won't be QB2.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

McKee demoted to backup despite solid play; Milton takes over as starter.

McKee was demoted from starter to backup after Joe Milton's promotion. Sirianni acknowledged that McKee 'played solid' but made the change for competitive reasons, saying 'this is just what I felt like we needed to do right at this particular moment to give ourselves the best chance to win this weekend.' Sirianni initially supported McKee keeping his job on Monday but changed direction after reviewing film and planning for the next opponent. McKee will relegate to QB2 behind Milton.
