On Friday, head coach Nick Sirianni provided an update on his team’s signal caller, and implied that it was looking like he’d be out for at least another week. " [Hurts] is still in the protocol. It's going to be tough for him to make it this week," Sirianni told reporters.

The other major injury question for the Eagles ahead of Sunday’s game is wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is dealing with left knee soreness. He first felt the injury last week but played against the Commanders. He was listed as limited in practice Thursday. “He’s obviously on (the injury report) and we’ll see how today goes,” Sirianni said.

Pickett played for the Steelers for his first two seasons, throwing for 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 25 appearances.

In his first real game action this season, backup quarterback and former Steelers first-round pick Kenny Pickett was 14-24 for 143 yards (6.0 avg), one touchdown, and one interception with a 72.0 rating. His penchant for not pushing the football downfield was evident by his six yards per completion.

Nick Sirianni didn't mince words regarding Jalen Hurts' status for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback left last week's loss to the Washington Commanders early after he suffered a concussion.

Hurts didn't practice coming back from Christmas, and at this point, this late into the week, it's unlikely that the Eagles' QB will play, Nick Sirianni said.

It's going to be tough for him to make it this week,” coach Nick Sirianni said Friday. The Eagles would turn to backup Kenny Pickett on Sunday if Hurts is not cleared to play because of the lingering effects of a concussion suffered against Washington.

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni had a few updates on quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett in a news conference Thursday.

On Monday, Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni offered no update on Hurts’s status for Week 17 against Dallas, stating that Hurts is in the concussion protocol.
