With the NFL regular season winding to its end, the Philadelphia Eagles are down to their third-string quarterback.

Starter Jalen Hurts remained in concussion protocol and did not start in Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. Then, in the third quarter, backup Kenny Pickett left after taking a shot to the ribs.

Third-string quarterback Tanner McKee took Pickett’s place in the third quarter, and the Eagles listed Pickett as questionable to return with a rib injury. McKee remained in the game for another series as Pickett remained under evaluation for his injury.
