Eagles Prepare for Cowboys with Injuries

Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol following an injury sustained during the Eagles' loss to the Commanders, with no practice participation this week, making his availability for the upcoming game against the Cowboys unlikely. Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett, who also suffered a rib injury in the same game, has practiced fully and expressed readiness to play if Hurts cannot. The Eagles are 12-3 and need a victory to clinch the NFC East title, but adjustments will be necessary due to the change in quarterbacks. Offensive lineman Lane Johnson noted that the team struggled to adapt after Hurts' injury, which impacted their running game and overall strategy. The Eagles are also managing other injuries, with Will Shipley likely out as well, while star running back Saquon Barkley aims to improve his performance after being contained in the last game. The situation remains fluid as the Eagles finalize their lineup ahead of the critical matchup.
