During the Philadelphia Eagles training camp and preseason, the team has focused on roster depth and quarterback competition. Early reports highlighted wide receiver Darius Cooper as a standout performer and noted uncertainty regarding veteran quarterback Andy Dalton’s roster status, with suggestions that Dalton or Tanner McKee could be traded if the team finds viable depth.

As the preseason progressed, the Eagles made several personnel changes, including signing Brandon Hayes and Zeke Carroll, and waiving wide receiver Johnny Wilson with an injury designation. Head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that the competition for the backup quarterback position remains active between Dalton and McKee, noting that while Dalton has received more snaps due to his experience, McKee has remained competitive following recent touchdown performances.
