Eagles Announce Notable Quarterback Move After Jalen Hurts Ruled Out-HN

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without quarterback Jalen Hurts on Sunday, prompting the team to adjust their depth chart in preparation for his absence.

Kenny Pickett is in line to draw the start — his first in an Eagles uniform. Pickett, a first-round pick in 2022, spent two seasons with the Steelers, going 14-10 during his tenure as Pittsburgh’s starter. He saw extended action in a loss to the Commanders last week, passing for 143 yards with a touchdown and interception.

Hurts is dealing with a concussion, while Pickett has a rib injury that limited him through the week. That prompted the Eagles to sign former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book to the practice squad earlier this week. The team announced they signed Book to the active roster on Saturday.

Book joins Pickett and backup Tanner McKee on the depth chart for Sunday’s clash against the Dallas Cowboys.

Book has just one NFL start under his belt, which came in 2021 when he was thrust into action with the Saints. He struggled in his debut, completing 12 of 20 passes for 135 yards while throwing two interceptions.

Book’s collegiate resume is impressive. As the winningest quarterback in Notre Dame history, he led the Fighting Irish to 30 victories in 35 starts from 2016 to 2020, solidifying his legacy in South Bend.

The Eagles are a 7.5-point favorite for their matchup with the Cowboys, per ESPN BET.
