The Carolina Panthers beat the Philadelphia Eagles 25-14 at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, handing the injury-ravaged Eagles a fourth consecutive defeat and dropping them to 2-4, Reuters reported.

Tanner McKee made his first start of the season at quarterback, completing 26 of 45 passes for 215 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. He started because Jalen Hurts was placed on injured reserve after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his calf, and is out indefinitely, according to the Delaware News Journal.

Bryce Young threw two touchdown passes to Tommy Tremble and finished 20-for-39 for 281 yards for Carolina (3-2). Chuba Hubbard rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries, and Ryan Fitzgerald kicked field goals of 47 and 52 yards, per Reuters.

Philadelphia managed just 222 total yards and 35 rushing yards, punting eight times. Saquon Barkley missed his second straight game with a hamstring injury, and the Eagles lost Nolan Smith to a concussion, Carson Steele to a shoulder injury and Jordan Davis to an ankle injury during the game, Eagles Wire reported.

The Eagles host Dallas next Monday night, beginning three consecutive NFC East games.
