Analysis

Both Hurts and his primary backup, Kenny Pickett (ribs), didn't take reps to begin Week 18 prep, leaving Tanner McKee as the next man up at quarterback for the Eagles. Head coach Nick Sirianni told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday that Hurts and multiple other starters won't play Sunday against the Giants, but Sirianni didn't rule Pickett out from playing, per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. As a result, Pickett and McKee both look to be possibilities to start under center Sunday at this stage of the week.

Analysis

Sirianni relayed that the Eagles intend to rest a number of starters in the regular-season finale, a list that includes Hurts, who remains in the concussion protocol. It's unclear if Hurts has made any progress in his recovery from the concussion, but the Eagles are still deciding on who will be under center Week 18 after Kenny Pickett started in place of Hurts in last Sunday's win over the Cowboys but was forced out with a rib injury. Tanner McKee finished out that contest and would be next in line to start Week 18 if Pickett can't go, while Ian Book also is on the active roster.

Analysis

Hurts hasn't practiced since suffering a concussion early on this past Sunday at Washington. Speaking of his quarterback earlier Friday, coach Nick Siranni told Tim McManus of ESPN.com that it's "going to be tough for him to make it this week" because Hurts still is in the protocol for head injuries. With his lack of availability now confirmed for Week 17, Hurts will hand off QB duties to backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) on Sunday. Stepping in for Hurts in Week 16, Pickett completed 14 of 24 passes for 143 yards, one touchdown and one interception and recorded three carries for 13 yards. As for Hurts, until he gets back on the practice field, his prospects for game action will be slim.

Analysis

Hurts, who is also dealing with a left finger injury, was listed as a non-participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday, and at this stage he's trending toward not being available Sunday against the Cowboys. If that ends up being the case, Kenny Pickett (ribs) -- who practiced fully Thursday -- would be in line to start at QB for the Eagles in place of Hurts.

Analysis

Hurts has yet to mix into drills since suffering a concussion this past Sunday at Washington. Meanwhile, Kenny Pickett, who emerged from that game with a rib injury, practiced in full Thursday and even told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer that he'll be ready to go if Hurts isn't available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. The Eagles may clarify the status of Hurts for Week 17 on Friday's injury report, which would set the stage for Pickett's first start with the team.

Analysis

After leaving early in Philadelphia's Week 16 loss at Washington with a concussion, Hurts was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate. On Thursday, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that the quarterback remained in the concussion protocol, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. While Hurts looks set to be listed as a non-participant for the second straight day, fellow quarterback Kenny Pickett mixed into drills Thursday, albeit with some extra padding around his midsection to protect his rib issue, according to Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Aside from Hurts and Pickett, Philadelphia employs signal-callers Tanner McKee on the active roster and Ian Book on the practice squad.

Analysis

Hurts was forced out of this past Sunday's loss at Washington in the first quarter after he was sandwiched between two Commanders defenders. He seemed to be a bit woozy and eventually was ruled out due to a concussion, and he's still managing a broken finger on his left hand, after he had been listed with the issue on injury reports for Week 15 and 16. Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs) was listed as limited Wednesday, so Tanner McKee currently is the healthiest signal-caller on the active roster. Hurts will need to get back on the practice field in some capacity before week's end to give himself a chance to play Sunday versus the Cowboys.

Analysis

Hurts sustained his concussion during Sunday's game against the Commanders, and with Pickett banged-up as well, the status of both signal-callers is worth monitoring closely ahead of this weekend's game against the Cowboys. For now, the Eagles' healthiest option at the QB position is Tanner McKee.

Analysis

Prior to being forced out of the contest, Hurts completed one of four pass attempts for 11 yards and ran three times for 41 yards. In his absence, Kenny Pickett has taken over at quarterback for the Eagles.
