Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Everything you need to know

The Eagles waived Thompson-Robinson on Sunday. Thompson-Robinson was acquired by the Eagles in March, and he entered training camp competing against rookie sixth-rounder Kyle McCord for the QB3 job behind Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee. Thompson-Robinson didn't get much run across two preseason games, completing 10 of 16 passes for 73 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception while rushing for zero yards on two carries. He may have been a candidate to stick around on the practice squad up until the Eagles' acquisition of Sam Howell from the Vikings on Sunday. Assuming he clears waivers, Thompson-Robinson will look to catch on with a team in need of a quarterback, though the 2023 fifth-rounder is more likely to land on a team's practice squad rather than a 53-man roster heading into the 2025 regular season.

Thompson-Robinson completed five of eight passes for 17 yards and an interception in Saturday's 22-13 preseason loss to the Browns. Facing the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft, Thompson-Robinson got the start but split drives with 2025 sixth-round pick Kyle McCord as the game progressed. Neither quarterback was able to get much going -- the Eagles had only 88 yards of total offense on the afternoon, and one of their two touchdowns came on a pick-six by rookie safety Andrew Mukuba. DTR isn't going to unseat Jalen Hurts or Tanner McKee at the top of the depth chart, and his hold on the No. 3 spot could be tenuous if Philly views McCord as the better developmental project.

Thompson-Robinson is expected to start Saturday's preseason game against the Browns, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports. Thompson-Robinson is in line to draw his first start of the preseason with Jalen Hurts getting another rest day, and No. 2 quarterback Tanner McKee also in line to watch from the sidelines after his impressive performance in the exhibition opener against Cincinnati, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Rookie sixth-round pick Kyle McCord will be available to enter in relief of Thompson-Robinson, with both signal-callers possibly getting a chance to play a half. Thompson-Robinson appears the favorite for the No. 3 quarterback spot behind Hurts and McKee after the Eagles acquired him and a 2025 fifth-round pick in a trade with the Browns earlier this offseason, sending Kenny Pickett (hamstring) in exchange.
