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.

Kenny Pickett, you’re up. The Eagles are set to hand the reins of their offense to the backup quarterback as Jalen Hurts was officially ruled out Friday afternoon for Sunday’s game against the visiting Dallas Cowboys.

On Friday, head coach Nick Sirianni provided an update on his team’s signal caller, and implied that it was looking like he’d be out for at least another week. " [Hurts] is still in the protocol. It's going to be tough for him to make it this week," Sirianni told reporters.
