Jalen Hurts injury updates: Latest news on Eagles QB ahead of Week 18

Jalen Hurts is still in the concussion protocol and will miss the Week 18 season finale against the New York Giants

Jalen Hurts’ 2024 regular season is over, as the Eagles are resting their quarterback, running back Saquon Barkley, and a host of other key starters and contributors.

During his Wednesday press conference, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that Hurts is still in the concussion protocol and won’t play in Week 18.

Hurts was 1-4 passing for 11 yards and had three carries for 41 yards before exiting for the blue medical tent against the Commanders two weeks ago.

In Week 17, Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee both tossed touchdown passes as Philadelphia dominated Dallas 41-7 at Lincoln Financial Field. Pickett is nursing broken ribs, and Sunday’s finale could see McKee get the start, with Ian Books as the backup quarterback.

Howie Roseman acquired QB Kenny Pickett for moments like Week 17 vs. Cowboys

Howie Roseman acquired QB Kenny Pickett for moments like Week 17 vs. Cowboys and the Eagles backup quarterback will shine

When Howie Roseman acquired Kenny Pickett, the initial idea was that he’d add value as a potential trade piece in April’s NFL draft. More importantly, he’d give Philadelphia an experienced and viable option in case Jalen Hurts had to miss time. 

Fast forward nine months later, and Pickett can help the Eagles secure the NFC East and the No. 2 seed in the playoffs with a win over the Dallas Cowboys with Hurts ruled out due to a concussion suffered in the 36-33 loss to the Commanders in Week 16.

Against the Commanders, Pickett completed 14 of 24 passes for 143 yards with one touchdown and one interception, but he struggled to push the football downfield.

Pickett was the Steelers’ first-round pick in 2022, but things soured last season, and Pickett was traded to Philadelphia in the offseason to be the primary backup to Jalen Hurts.

During the summer, Pickett had tried to be efficient through two preseason games, but his penchant for taking the check-downs while not pushing the ball down the field left some fans clamoring for Tanner McKee as QB2.

Pickett went 14-10 in 24 starts for the Steelers. In those 24 games, Pickett was 446 of 713 passing (62.6%) for 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions.

He suffered an ankle injury in December and never returned to the field as Mason Rudolph took over starting duties.

Pickett graduated from Ocean Township (N.J.) High School and backed out of a verbal commitment to Temple before heading to Western Pennsylvania. Now, he’s home and can secure the division against a hated rival in front of family and friends.

Cowboys list seven players as questionable for game vs. Eagles in Week 17

Cowboys list seven players as questionable for game vs. Eagles in Week 17

The Cowboys are one of the NFL’s hottest teams, having won four of the last five games. They’ll look to play spoilers when they visit Philadelphia for a Week 17 matchup against the Eagles.

Cooper Rush will make his eighth start of the season. He’s 9-4 overall as a starter but 0-2 against the Eagles. Dallas will be without Ceedee Lamb, who has 59 more receptions and 712 more yards than Dallas’ next leading receiver this season.

The team also listed seven players as questionable and ruled out two others.

The Eagles will be without quarterback Jalen Hurts on Sunday. The team ruled out three players for the Week 17 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Oren Burks could start his first game of the season as a linebacker, while Nakobe Dean is doubtful.

Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett will start after being a limited Friday practice participant. At the same time, Bryce Huff is questionable to play and would need to be activated off injured reserve by 4:00 PM on Saturday to be eligible to play.

Star wide receiver A.J. Brown is among seven key players with no injury designation after being full participants in Friday’s practice.

With Hurts out, Ian Book was signed to the practice squad this week, and he’ll be elevated on Saturday as the third quarterback.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is dealing with a concussion. Latest updates on star quarterback

The Eagles are prepared to face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday afternoon without quarterback Jalen Hurts.

During his Friday press conference, head coach Nick Sirianni was noncommital on Hurts’ availability, stating that it was going to be hard for the star quarterback to clear the concussion protocol.

On Monday, Sirianni offered no update on Hurts’s status for Week 17 against Dallas, stating that Hurts is in the concussion protocol.

On Thursday, just three days before hosting the Cowboys in a critcial NFC East contest, Sirianni sounded like a head coach who’ll be playing with the backup quarterback for the second week in a row.

Hurts was 1-4 passing for 11 yards and had three carries for 41 yards before exiting for the blue medical tent.

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.

Kenny Pickett injury updates: Latest news on Eagles backup QB

Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Kenny Pickett is dealing with a rib injury. Here’s the latest updates with Jalen Hurts in concussion protocol

The Eagles are all about quarterback development, and with the club looking for efficiency behind Jalen Hurts, Howie Roseman acquired Kenny Pickett from Pittsburgh in a draft pick swap.

Philadelphia sent a third-round pick (No. 98 overall) in last April’s draft and two 2025 seventh-round selections to Pittsburgh, while the Steelers include a 2024 fourth-round pick (No. 120) in the deal.

The No. 20 overall pick out of Pitt in the 2022 NFL draft, Pickett could play a key role in Philadelphia securing the NFC East if Jalen Hurts can’t clear the concussion protocol.

Pickett (ribs) was practicing with some extra padding around his midsection.

Thursday’s afternoon practice was the first on-field session of the week. After a walkthrough on Tuesday, they had a day off on Wednesday for Christmas. Hurts was listed as a non-participant despite the day off, while Pickett was listed as limited on an estimated injury report.

On Thursday morning, the Eagles brought back quarterback Ian Book to the practice squad as some insurance. Book was with the Eagles in 2022. He will be behind Tanner McKee on the Eagles’ depth chart. McKee has been the Eagles’ third-stringer since he was drafted in the sixth round last year. While McKee has not played in a regular season game, he had a strong training camp this summer.

Against the Commanders, Pickett completed 14 of 24 passes for 143 yards with one touchdown and one interception, but he struggled to push the football downfield.

Pickett went 14-10 in 24 starts for the Steelers. In those 24 games, Pickett was 446 of 713 passing (62.6%) for 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions.

He suffered an ankle injury in December and never returned to the field as Mason Rudolph took over starting duties.
