T he 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.

With Tanner McKee dealing with a finger injury, the Eagles are shoring up to their quarterback depth, acquiring Sam Howell from the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday morning, a league source confirmed to the Inquirer.

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.
