On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles will play the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East matchup. Following the Cowboys’ elimination from postseason contention last week, the stakes are lower than they often are this time around. The Eagles, who now have a very tiny chance of earning the No. 1 seed in the NFC, have also made things more difficult for themselves by losing to the Commanders.
However, in terms of possible home-field advantage and postseason seeding, the Eagles have a lot on the line. The quarterback position has been the most significant narrative for the Eagles leading up to the last two games of the regular season.
Following a concussion sustained against the Commanders, Kenny Pickett took Jalen Hurts’ spot. Pickett suffered a rib injury later in the fourth quarter. After undergoing more testing, he was allowed to keep playing, although his situation remained uncertain for the entire week.
Pickett declared that he is “ready to go” for the Cowboys game on Thursday.

For the Eagles, this is a wonderful step. Hurts’ availability for Sunday is really in doubt because their star quarterback hasn’t practiced this week, despite the fans’ clear desire to see him under centre.
However, according to ESPN’s Tim McManus, Pickett disclosed that he was able to complete a full session on Thursday. He stated that he didn’t anticipate the game having any restrictions.
Against Washington, the former Steelers starter didn’t play very well and couldn’t maintain the lead. And he wasn’t bad. Pickett clearly gives the Eagles the best chance to defeat third-string quarterback Tanner McKee if Hurts is unable to play.
