Jalen Hurts is still in the NFL's concussion protocol, forcing the Philadelphia Eagles to play against Dallas without their star quarterback.

Sirianni confirmed that Hurts is still in concussion protocol after getting injured in the team's Week 16 loss to division-rival Washington. Hurts was hit by LB Frankie Luvu before his head collided with the turf after a 13-yard run in the first quarter.

PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles coach Nick Sirianni signaled that Kenny Pickett will get the start Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys as Jalen Hurts continues to recover from a concussion. " [ Hurts] is still in the protocol. It's going to be tough for him to make it this week," Sirianni said Friday prior to the quarterback being officially ruled out.
