On Friday, head coach Nick Sirianni provided an update on his team’s signal caller, and implied that it was looking like he’d be out for at least another week. " [Hurts] is still in the protocol. It's going to be tough for him to make it this week," Sirianni told reporters.

The other major injury question for the Eagles ahead of Sunday’s game is wide receiver A.J. Brown, who is dealing with left knee soreness. He first felt the injury last week but played against the Commanders. He was listed as limited in practice Thursday. “He’s obviously on (the injury report) and we’ll see how today goes,” Sirianni said.

Pickett played for the Steelers for his first two seasons, throwing for 4,474 yards, 13 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 25 appearances.
