Eagles Sign Joe Milton from Cowboys' Practice Squad Amid Jalen Hurts' Injury

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face a challenging situation as quarterback Jalen Hurts is sidelined due to a blood clot in his calf, potentially for an extended period. In response, the Eagles have made a strategic move by signing quarterback Joe Milton from the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad.

This decision comes as Tanner McKee was initially expected to step in as the starter. However, the addition of Milton adds a new dynamic to the Eagles' quarterback lineup, which now includes McKee, rookie Cole Payton, and Milton. While McKee is anticipated to start for now, Milton's athleticism and arm strength make him a noteworthy addition.

The Cowboys' decision to cut Milton and place him on the practice squad has been criticized, especially given the talent he possesses. The Eagles are now in a position to explore Milton's potential as they navigate a roster in transition, making this acquisition a low-risk opportunity with the possibility of significant rewards.
