The Eagles will start Sunday against Dallas with Kenny Pickett (QB) at the helm. Nick Siriani (HC) told Tim McManus (ESPN) this Friday that “it may be complicated for Jalen Hurts to be ready this week.” Indeed, the Philly holder is stuck in the concussion protocol. He didn't train this week. And with the playoffs looming, the Eagles are not going to take any risks.
Already assured of the division title in the NFC East, they will not be ranked lower than seed number 3. Philadelphia can still win the conference but their fate is now in the hands of the Lions and the Vikings.
Kenny Pickett starts for the first time in over a year
Kenny Pickett has not experienced the honors of a tenure since his end of career with Pittsburgh. He appeared four times in the colors of the Eagles for 148 yards at 56.5% success, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. However, he had his first major playing time last Sunday against Washington. However, he was also hit in the ribs and will therefore not be 100%. He should still be able to hold his position while playing with protections.
