The Eagles traded with the Vikings for backup quarterback Sam Howell on Sunday, casting doubt on Philadelphia's QB2 Tanner McKee's availability for the start of the season. McKee is nursing a finger injury he suffered during last week's practice.

After the season, Howell was traded to the Seattle Seahawks to serve as Geno Smith's backup. He got into two games and went 5-for-14 passing for 24 yards. Howell was then traded to the Vikings to serve as J.J. McCarthy's backup in April.

McKee, the Eagles’ backup behind Jalen Hurts, sustained a finger injury on his right throwing hand in practice on Monday and could be in danger of missing the Sept. 4 season opener.
