Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been declared out for Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a concussion.
Hurts has been following concussion protocol since his head struck the ground in Sunday’s defeat against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Nick Sirianni mentioned on Friday that it would be “difficult for him to make it” since the quarterback did not participate in practice this week. Backup Kenny Pickett, who came in for Hurts for the rest of the Commanders game, will start in Hurts’ place.
unday’s game is an for the NFC East with a win or a tie. Pickett’s teammates are confident he can help them deliver.
“You can never be sure — that’s the way the game works,” said running back Saquon Barkley. “When the chance arrives, you must be prepared for it.” If that’s happening this week, he has an excellent chance and 10 teammates who trust him and are aware he can contribute to winning this football match.
When was the most recent occasion a quarterback besides Hurts began for the Eagles? During Week 16 of the 2022 NFL season, Hurts was sidelined due to a shoulder injury, and Gardner Minshew replaced him in the game against the Cowboys.

Despite sustaining an injury to his left hand, Allen told CBS Sports after last week’s win over the New England Patriots that he felt “no sensation” in his right hand after a helmet hit his right elbow.
“Allen commented to Evan Washburn, ‘I got a shot to the funny bone.'” “I attempted to throw the next one, and my hand felt entirely numb.” “Left a little wobbly.” Allen has fully participated in practice this week.
