Tebow's ability saves quarterback Sam Bradford, who has surgically repaired knees, from having to run.
Quarterback Matt Barkley remains available for a trade, the source said.
Tebow completed 6 of 12 passes for 69 yardsin his Eagles debut Sunday. He carried the ball four times for 15 yards and a touchdown.
