The Philadelphia Eagles are facing a critical situation at the quarterback position as they prepare to clinch the NFC East. Both Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett are dealing with injuries that could affect their availability for the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni didn't provide any updates on the status of Hurts or Pickett during his news conference on Monday.

Hurts is currently in the league's concussion protocol, which means his participation in Sunday's game is uncertain. Sirianni stated that they are relying on the team's doctors to monitor Hurts' progress daily. Pickett, on the other hand, underwent X-rays on his ribs after the Eagles' loss to the Commanders, which prevented them from securing the division title.

The injury to Hurts occurred during the first quarter of Sunday's game when he dove headfirst during a 13-yard run. He was hit by Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu, resulting in a hard impact on the back of his head. Pickett stepped in to finish the game after Hurts' injury.

Sirianni acknowledged the unfortunate nature of Hurts' concussion, stating that it's a common risk in football. The Eagles' injury report, scheduled to be released on Wednesday, will provide more clarity on the quarterbacks' health and their potential availability for the crucial game against the Cowboys.
