5 Most Likely Eagles Inactives for Week 11 vs. Chiefs
2. Tanner McKee, QB
Eagles fans have been concerned about a knee injury that quarterback Jalen Hurts has been dealing with since Week 7. The good news is that the star quarterback revealed earlier this week that he's no longer wearing a knee sleeve, putting him in a good spot to take on the Chiefs.
In other words, Tanner McKee will likely be watching this game from the sidelines again.
The 23-year-old — who was drafted 188th by Philadelphia in April — has yet to play a snap during the regular season. He looked half-decent during 3 preseason appearances, but it's clear that he has some developing to do before he's ready to play meaningful NFL action.
Having said that, it isn't impossible for McKee to suit up under the Monday night lights. With Hurts starting and Marcus Mariota assuming backup duties, the rookie gunslinger will likely be used as Philadelphia's emergency QB again if the aforementioned duo gets injured or ejected.
But until an event like that happens, McKee must sit patiently and be ready if his number is called.
