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.

In his first real game action this season, backup quarterback and former Steelers first-round pick Kenny Pickett was 14-24 for 143 yards (6.0 avg), one touchdown, and one interception with a 72.0 rating. His penchant for not pushing the football downfield was evident by his six yards per completion.
