Eagles make roster move at key position which hints at Jalen Hurts’ status for Week 17-HN

The Philadelphia Eagles might have just given a key hint as to Jalen Hurts’ status for Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Quarterback Ian Book was signed to the team’s practice squad on Thursday, the team announced.

If Hurts is forced to miss Week 17’s matchup due to a concussion, Kenny Pickett would be next in line to start. However, the former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback sustained a rib injury after replacing Hurts in the Eagles’ loss to the Commanders last week.

NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark posted a video on X showing Pickett at practice, and it appeared he was wearing additional padding.

As for Hurts, he was not out there with the team.

So, behind Pickett, it would be Tanner McKee and Book up next.

Book has been in the league since 2021, being drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the fourth round. After only one year, he was released and the Eagles picked him up off waivers. Following a full year in Philadelphia, he was waived once again. In 2023, Book spent five days with the New England Patriots practice squad, and was with the Kansas City Chiefs all throughout training camp this past year before being waived in final roster cuts.

He has appeared in only one game, which was with the Saints in 2021. There he went 12-of-20 with 135 passing yards and two interceptions along with eight sacks. On the rushing side, he had three carries for six yards.

It’s another stint for Book with a team he has experience with. So, let’s see who is in the pocket for the Eagles on Sunday.
