The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving QB Ian Book ahead of wild card matchup vs. the Green Bay Packers

The Eagles have been quiet about quarterback Jalen Hurts’s availability, but the most significant indicator of his readiness could be the departure of a recent signee. With preparation for the NFC Wild Card game against the Packers looming, Philadelphia waived signal-caller Ian Book.

The Eagles waived Book at the 53-man roster deadline last summer, naming rookie Tanner McKee as the third quarterback.

Following the injuries to Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Kenny Pickett (ribs), the Eagles signed Book to the practice squad on December 26, and then to the active roster two days later. He did not appear on the active roster in the final two regular-season games.

The Eagles released their final injury report of the regular season, and quarterback Jalen Hurts was ruled out with a concussion.  A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are among 10 others listed as doubtful for the Week 18 game against the New York Giants.

Hurts remains in the concussion protocol after leaving the loss to Washington, meaning he won’t be at the game and will start the wild card week off in the protocol.

Linebacker Nakobe Dean (abdomen) and tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) were once again full participants in practice. Whether or not they will play on Sunday remains to be seen, but their health is a good sign for the playoffs.

Defensive end Bryce Huff (wrist) and running back Will Shipley (concussion) were also full participants.
