With the Philadelphia Eagles signing Josh McCown, it means that once Nate Sudfeld is healthy he will be the third-string quarterback, but he is still excited about the addition.

Sudfeld, Cody Kessler, and Clayton Thorson were the backup quarterbacks to start training camp, but injuries have made it necessary for the team sign McCown to back up Carson Wentz.

Sudfeld suffered a broken wrist and Kessler suffered a concussion. Sudfeld told the media he is confident in how the team feels about him and thinks adding McCown is a great addition to an already great team.

“I feel very confident in my abilities, and I feel like they have a lot of confidence in me,” Sudfeld said, via Philly.com. “I understand the signing, especially with the injury I got. We’re just a really great team and I think Josh adds to a great team.”

Kessler admits that he wonders what it means for his role on the team, but knows he can't focus on that and needs to get ready for Thursday's game.

“With what happened, I understand it, and with Nate out also, I understand it,” Kessler said. “It’s part of it. For me, I can’t think, ‘What’s the plan here? ‘What’s going to happen?’ playing all these scenarios in my head, which is tough not to do. I’ve just got to come out and practice and keep going and get ready to play Thursday.”

McCown is still learning the offense and it's unclear if he will play in Thursday's game. If he doesn't, expect him to be out there in the fourth preseason game.
