Wednesday's Injury Report
The Eagles released their first injury report of the week on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's NFC East showdown with the rival Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field.
The team did not hold a practice, so the following injury report is an estimation.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts would not have practiced on Wednesday due to the concussion he suffered last Sunday in Washington.
Meanwhile, backup quarterback Kenny Pickett would have been limited with injured ribs.
Tanner McKee, who has been the emergency third quarterback this season, explained on Tuesday that his preparation has not changed in the wake of the injuries in his position room.
"I feel like I've always been preparing to be the starter and preparing to play, and so my preparation is going to stay the same," McKee said. "And you know, I'm obviously excited for any opportunity that I do get, but we're going to take it day by day for those guys.
"I think just being around the guys, being around the system, I do feel a lot more confident with the system and NFL as a whole, how to read defenses, just from last year to this year, just having another year under my belt. And so if I do get the opportunity, I'm excited to show that."
Linebacker Nakobe Dean also would not have practiced with an abdomen injury.
Running back/return specialist Will Shipley is also in the NFL concussion protocol along with Hurts.
Two Eagles players working their way back from injury would have been full participants – wide receiver/punt returner Britain Covey (neck) and defensive end Bryce Huff (wrist). Covey has not played since the December 1 win in Baltimore, while Huff is working within the 21-day practice window to come off Injured Reserve.
Several other veterans would have had typical rest days on Wednesday.
