Will be Eagles' practice squad QB
The Eagles signed McCord to the practice squad Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie sixth-rounder wasn't able to crack the Eagles' 53-man roster, but he'll stay in Philadelphia as the team's scout team quarterback. With Tanner McKee in jeopardy of missing Week 1 due to a thumb injury, McCord could be elevated to the active roster to serve as the Eagles' emergency quarterback behind Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell.

Let go by Philadelphia
McCord was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
McCord appeared in all three preseason games with the team, completing 24 of 56 passes for 191 yards and a touchdown, but he also threw two interceptions. The quarterback was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and if he clears waivers, he will likely join the Eagles' practice squad ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Taken by Philadelphia in Round 6
The Eagles selected McCord in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 181st overall.
ANALYSIS
McCord transferred to Syracuse in 2024 after spending the three previous seasons at Ohio State. He flourished in Syracuse's pass-happy spread system, leading the FBS in passing yards (4,779) and completions per game (30.1) in 2024 to earn a spot on the Second Team All-ACC roster. McCord doesn't stand out physically, but he stays cool in the pocket and makes throws with conviction, which should translate against NFL-level defenses. He'll compete with Tanner McKee and Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the backup quarterback job behind Jalen Hurts.
