The Philadelphia Eagles are evaluating their backup quarterback options for the upcoming game against the New York Giants as Tanner McKee manages a cracked rib injury. Starting quarterback Joe Milton will take the field, but the team must determine who will serve as his primary backup if McKee is unavailable.

McKee, who has been serving as the Eagles' second-string quarterback, sustained the rib injury recently, leaving his status for the Giants matchup uncertain. The Eagles coaching staff is expected to make a decision on the backup role ahead of the game, with practice participation likely to be a key factor.

The situation adds an element of uncertainty to Philadelphia's quarterback depth chart as they prepare for the divisional contest against New York.
