  "account": "The Philadelphia Eagles are strengthening their quarterback depth by signing Joe Milton III from Dallas, following Jalen Hurts' ruling out due to a minor injury. Coach Sean Mannion will assess how much Milton can learn about the offense in the coming week. Milton's primary strength is his arm strength and ability to reach difficult throwing windows. However, concerns remain about his accuracy, touch, and ability to make precise throws in a crowded pocket. Despite a solid preseason showing, Milton failed to secure the backup position in Dallas, where the Cowboys opted for consistency over occasional flashes of brilliance. The Week 7 matchup against Dallas provides Milton with valuable familiarity with the team's system. Adding Milton gives the Eagles another NFL veteran to assess while Jalen Hurts' return timeline remains uncertain.",
