Now with Week 17 upon us, and Philadelphia and Washington facing pivotal games, the Eagles may be without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts when they take on the Dallas Cowboys. Jalen Hurts injury status Friday update: The Eagles officially ruled Hurts out for Sunday’s game against Dallas.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is officially out against the Dallas Cowboys for Sunday's Week 17 game. Hurts remains in concussion protocol, meaning Kenny Pickett will be the starter. Eagles fans had their holiday season somewhat spoiled when Hurts exited Philadelphia's Week 16 showdown against the Commanders early after suffering a head injury.

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.
