Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts appears doubtful for the team's Week 17 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys.

Head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters on Friday that "it's going to be tough" for Hurts to get cleared from concussion protocol in time for Sunday.

Kenny Pickett is in line to start with the Eagles looking to wrap up the NFC East and lock down the No. 2 seed in the NFC.

The Eagles ruled Hurts out with a concussion during their Week 16 game against the Washington Commanders after he played in each of the team's first 14 contests.
