Hurts exited the Commanders game midway through the first quarter after his head collided with the turf as he was hit by linebacker Frankie Luvuon a 13-yard run. Washington ended up rallying to win 36-33 in Hurts' absence, handing the Eagles their first loss in 11 games.

If Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is unavailable for their Week 17 tilt with the rival Dallas Cowboys, they'll at least have Kenny Pickett at their disposal. Hurts remains in concussion protocol while also dealing with a finger injury on his non-throwing hand.

Since joining the Eagles as Jalen Hurts’ backup this offseason, Kenny Pickett said he has been staying prepared for his chance to start. This Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, he will likely have to put his preparation to the test.
