On Friday, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said that Hurts has cleared the concussion protocol and had a good week of practice. Hurts has missed the Eagles' last two games with a concussion that he suffered in the first quarter of the Eagles' Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders.

McKee, in his second year out of Stanford, threw two more touchdown passes after replacing Pickett and then made his first NFL start Sunday and defeated the Giants, 20-13. He completed 27 of 41 throws for 269 yards and two touchdowns while playing almost exclusively with fellow backups.

After a 13-yard run, Hurts was sent off the field. Checked in the sideline medical tent, Hurts came out and put his helmet on, standing ready to go back into the game until the Eagles’ medical staff took him to the locker room. He hasn’t played since.
