Kenny Pickett Slated To Make First Start For Eagles Sunday

Former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett will likely make his first start for the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday with Eagles’ starting QB Jalen Hurts still in concussion protocol. Head coach Nick Sirianni said that it’s going to be “tough” for Hurts to play in his Friday press conference, per Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Enquirer, and with Hurts likely being ruled out for Sunday’s game, Pickett would start for the Eagles.

“It’s going to be tough for him to make it.”
