Jalen Hurts Ruled Out as Eagles Prepare for Cowboys; Kenny Pickett to Start
In a significant turn of events for the Philadelphia Eagles, quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled out for the Week 17 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a concussion he sustained during a previous game. With Hurts still in concussion protocol and his status uncertain, the Eagles have turned to Kenny Pickett, who is excited about the opportunity to lead the team. Pickett, who has been preparing as the starting QB, expressed confidence in his readiness. Meanwhile, the Eagles have also signed former Patriots QB Ian Book to their practice squad as a precautionary measure. The team is looking to clinch the NFC East title amidst these injury challenges.
