Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is still in concussion protocol and is unlikely to play this week against the Dallas Cowboys. Coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that Kenny Pickett will start in his place. Pickett had a challenging outing last week against the Washington Commanders, throwing for 143 yards with one touchdown and one interception, but he also sustained a rib injury during the game. Tanner McKee is set to be the backup quarterback for the Eagles. The team's playoff chances have diminished significantly following their recent loss.
