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.

Since first landing on the injury report, Brown had 8 catches for 97 yards and a touchdown against the Commanders and 3 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown against the Cowboys. He and many starters rested in the regular season finale against the Giants.

Hurts, who suffered a concussion against the Washington Commanders on Dec. 22, missed the Eagles' final two regular-season games while going through the NFL's concussion protocol.

The Eagles had their top two quarterbacks on the practice field on Wednesday. Head coach Nick Sirianni said before practice that Hurts would take part in his first on-field work since suffering a concussion in Week 16 and he was listed as a limited participant on the team's injury report.
