The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired quarterback Sam Howell from the Minnesota Vikings, trading future draft picks to address backup quarterback injury concerns.

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 Philadelphia Eagles reportedly are releasing rookie quarterback Kyle McCord, according to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
