The Philadelphia Eagles appear to be surrounded by troubles once again. The team has a good 12-3 record so far, indicating that they will advance to the playoffs. But at this crucial time, their starter QB Jalen Hurts is out. For those who missed Week 17, the man received a severe blow to the head and was ruled out due to a concussion. And it appears that the fresh reports are not in his favor. Wait, what is the report claiming?

Well, the HC Nick Sirianni recently made a post-practice media appearance. And the coach did not have any pleasant news for the fans. The man had no news to share with the fans. When asked about Jalen Hurts, Sirianni only revealed one thing. And it was that the quarterback had not yet completed the concussion protocol. This means that there is a good chance that the quarterback may not be on the field against the Cowboys.

The report revealed, “#Eagles HC Nick Sirianni offered no update on QB Jalen Hurts other than that he’s still in concussion protocol. Will see how much, if anything, he can do at practice, but becoming more difficult to see him being ready for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys.”

In week 17, the Eagles suffered their first setback after ten straight wins. And the team will not want to lose another game. This will utterly throw them off course before the playoffs, and the squad just cannot afford it. Although Kenny Pickett has been a good replacement for Jalen Hurts, the team is looking for another backup. And it appears they have found it.

The Eagles have a huge roaster adjustment with Jalen Hurts’ injury

After it became clear that Jalen Hurts may not be able to return to the field soon, the team began making some changes. They released DB Tariq Castro-Fields and signed two more players from their practice squad. These stars are none other than running back Lew Nichols and quarterback Ian Book. Most people believe that this new quarterback is mostly intended to serve as a backup for Pickett.

Interestingly, No. Reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks has reportedly disclosed that the team does not intend to make Pickett the starting quarterback. The head coach, Nick Sirianni, will conduct practice reps for both quarterbacks, and the better one may lead the team. The report read, “Nick Sirianni won’t say who is getting start reps today at QB in practice”

Ian Book is an incredible talent, but the quarterback is yet to show the world his full potential. He was chosen into the NFL by the Saints in 2021 and appeared in one game that season. Since then, the man has been looking for a second chance, and perhaps his wait is finally over. What are your thoughts about him? Should the Eagles experiment and allow Ian Book to lead the team?
