宾夕法尼亚州费城县费城市消息，据《今日美国》巨人队随队报道11月7日，费城老鹰队主教练Nick Sirianni确认，Joe Milton III将在11月8日星期日对阵纽约巨人的比赛中首发，完成个人首次NFL首发。老鹰目前2胜6负、六连败，四分卫Jalen Hurts因血栓赛季报销，此前首发的Tanner McKee三场皆负。Sirianni11月2日星期一仍称McKee是首发，次日告知McKee被换下，11月4日星期三媒体会上仍未透露，11月6日星期五承认有意推迟公布，以压缩巨人的备战时间。Milton约三周前从达拉斯牛仔练习队签下，以强臂与移动能力见长。Sirianni称换人决定艰难，承认McKee“打得不错”，但教练组认为这是本周取胜的最佳机会；巨人目前领跑国联东区。
Eagles Confirm Joe Milton III Will Start Against the Giants; Sirianni Admits the Late Announcement Was Deliberate
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has confirmed that Joe Milton III will start at quarterback against the New York Giants on Sunday, November 8, making his first NFL start, USA Today's Giants coverage reported on November 7. The Eagles are 2-6 on a six-game losing streak; starter Jalen Hurts is out for the season with a blood clot, and previous starter Tanner McKee lost all three of his starts. Sirianni still called McKee the starter on Monday, November 2, told McKee the next day he was being replaced, stayed silent at Wednesday's media session, and admitted on Friday, November 6, that he had deliberately delayed the announcement to shorten the Giants' preparation time. Milton was signed off the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad about three weeks ago and is known for his strong arm and mobility. Sirianni called the decision difficult and said McKee 'played well,' but the staff believes this gives the team its best chance this week; the Giants currently lead the NFC East.
