The Eagles made moves at the quarterback position on Sunday. Philadelphia first traded for backup Sam Howell from the Vikings. This was a move made in response to finding out backup Tanner McKee has a fractured thumb, and will likely miss some time. However, he is not expected to land on the injured reserve list.

The Minnesota Vikings have signed Wentz to back up quarterback J.J. McCarthy and traded Howell to the Philadelphia Eagles. The reigning Super Bowl champion Eagles are sending a 2026 fifth-round pick and 2027 seventh-rounder to Minnesota for Howell and a 2027 sixth-rounder.
