Jalen Hurts may sit out a potential NFC East clincher against Dallas because of the lingering effects of a concussion. The Eagles could also just rest Hurts to play it safe -- even if he’s medically cleared ahead of Sunday’s game -- and protect their franchise QB from additional injury over the final two games.

The Eagles (12-3) had an opportunity to clinch the NFC East last week with a win over the Washington Commanders but a go-ahead touchdown from Washington with six seconds remaining ended those chances.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and Commanders tight end Zach Ertz cleared the air after they exchanged words following Washington's comeback win over Philadelphia on Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Thursday that he and former Eagles player Zach Ertz, now with the Washington Commanders, are all good after they got into a postgame confrontation following the Eagles' loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz needed to be separated after an altercation following their Week 16 matchup last Sunday, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

If Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is unavailable for their Week 17 tilt with the rival Dallas Cowboys, they'll at least have Kenny Pickett at their disposal. Hurts remains in concussion protocol while also dealing with a finger injury on his non-throwing hand.
