Eagles add quarterback Joe Milton from Cowboys practice squad
Philadelphia signs former Dallas practice-squad quarterback Joe Milton as Jalen Hurts remains sidelined with a blood clot.
Philadelphia has signed quarterback Joe Milton off the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad, according to multiple reports. Milton, a sixth-round pick in 2024 who was originally drafted by New England and later traded to Dallas, has not yet started an NFL game. He has appeared in five contests, completing 37 of 53 passes for 424 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, and added 66 rushing yards with a touchdown.
The move comes as starter Jalen Hurts is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a blood clot. Milton's addition may also signal the end of a possible reunion with veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, who was released earlier this month and is reportedly evaluating several offers.
The Eagles are slated to face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon, with backup Tanner McKee expected to start the game.
