Eagles sign QB Ian Book with Jalen Hurts still in concussion protocol

Not exactly the news Eagles fans wanted to wake up to the day after Christmas. Per Nick Sirianni, QB Jalen Hurts is still in concussion protocol, making it pretty unlikely he’ll play in Sunday’s crucial game against Dallas.

Furthering that speculation, the team brought in QB Ian Book from the practice squad.

Not great!

The Eagles only have to win one more game to secure the NFC East crown, but if they drop one of their final two contests, they can kiss the No. 1 seed goodbye. The ones seed is a bit of a longshot regardless, but the hope is still alive.

We’ll get a more definitive answer on Jalen Hurts’ status as the week goes on.
