Eagles Waive Quarterback Ian Book

The Philadelphia Eagles have waived quarterback Ian Book, a move that suggests optimism about Jalen Hurts' recovery from a concussion sustained in Week 16. With Hurts expected to return for the critical game against the Green Bay Packers, the team opted to let go of Book, who had served as an emergency quarterback during his brief tenure. Hurts has not played since his injury but is reportedly on track to be cleared from the concussion protocol. As a result of Book's departure, Kenny Pickett is likely to remain as the backup, with Tanner McKee as the emergency QB. Book's history includes being drafted by the Saints and having a short stint with the Eagles' practice squad before this latest roster move. The Eagles are also left with one roster opening to fill as they prepare for the playoffs.
