News: 3 days agoPayton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Spin: With Jalen Hurts entrenched as the starter, Andy Dalton as the backup and Tanner McKee as the emergency third quarterback, there isn't a role for Payton on the gameday roster. The fifth-round rookie's status will likely remain unchanged unless one of the first three options ahead of him misses time.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Payton was selected by the Eagles in the fifth round of April's draft. Payton is a big, dual-threat quarterback who started only one season at North Dakota State and totaled more rushing (31) than passing (21) touchdowns during his five collegiate seasons. Lacking arm strength and with little experience, especially at the FCS level, he'll likely require plenty of development. He likely max out as an emergency third quarterback in 2026.
