Eagles Quarterbacks Prepare for Cowboys Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol following an injury in last week's game against the Washington Commanders, where he completed just 1 of 4 passes before exiting. Backup Kenny Pickett, who sustained a rib injury during that game, practiced fully on Thursday and expressed confidence in his availability for the upcoming match against the Dallas Cowboys. Pickett mentioned he has tested new padding to manage his rib issue, and he does not expect to have any limitations. If Hurts is unable to play, Tanner McKee, a sixth-round pick in 2023, would be the backup quarterback. The Eagles can clinch the NFC East title with a victory on Sunday, making the quarterback situation critical. Pickett's performance last week included 143 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, showcasing his readiness to step up if needed.
