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.

Will the Philadelphia Eagles have star quarterback Jalen Hurts for their upcoming Week 17 showdown against the Dallas Cowboys? The Eagles will face off against the Cowboys on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field and it doesn't sound like Hurts will be ready ...

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.

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.

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

It is looking less likely that Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. According to ESPN Eagles/NFL reporter Tim McManus, head coach Nick Sirianni said "it's going to be tough for him to make it this week" when speaking to reporters about Hurts on Friday.

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.

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.

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

On this front, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni reportedly tried to mend fences between Hurts and Brown. How? He had the Eagles actively practice and ponder team celebrations this week in an attempt to foster unity and an atmosphere of togetherness while getting them to recognize what they can accomplish when everyone is on the same page.
