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.

Backup Kenny Pickett will likely get the start as quarterback after the Eagles officially ruled Jalen Hurts out from Sunday's game as he heals from a concussion and left finger injury.

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.
