Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) estimated as missing practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is in concussion protocol and would not have practiced Wednesday, while his replacement, Kenny Pickett, would have been listed as a limited participant on the injury report because of a ribs issue.

The Eagles did not practice on Wednesday, so the report was an estimation of how the players would have been listed. Hurts exited Philadelphia's 36-33 road loss to the Washington Commanders last Sunday due to a head injury, while Pickett sustained a rib injury.

Hurts, 26, also has a left finger injury listed on the report. The Eagles (12-3) host the Dallas Cowboys (7-8) on Sunday with a chance to clinch the NFC East title.

Also listed with an injury designation on Wednesday were linebacker Nakobe Dean (abdomen) and running back/returner Will Shipley (concussion protocol). Wide receiver Britain Covey (neck) and defensive end Bryce Huff (wrist) were estimated to be full participants. Covey has not played since the win over the Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 1, while Huff is in the 21-day practice window to come off injured reserve.

Hurts has started all 15 games this season for Philadelphia and is 248 of 361 for 2,903 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and five interceptions. Hurts also has rushed 150 times for 630 yards and an NFL co-leading 14 rushing scores.

Pickett, 26, has appeared in four games this season after the Eagles acquired him in March in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is 15 of 27 for 148 yards, one touchdown and one pick.

The Eagles have one other quarterback on their roster, Tanner McKee. A sixth-round pick in 2023 out of Stanford, McKee has yet to play a snap for Philadelphia.
