Kenny Pickett is putting together one of his best performances in the NFL, but it’s uncertain whether he’ll be able to finish the game.
Pickett — who is starting this week for incumbent starter Jalen Hurts — took a couple of shots in the first half against the Dallas Cowboys, but a shot from Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons midway through the third quarter left him lying on the turf.
He left the game for a few plays and eventually exited to the locker room.
It’s a tough break for Pickett, who toughed out some serious hits in the first half and produced at a high level. He completed 10-of-15 pass attempts for 145 yards and a touchdown, adding a touchdown on the ground.
Pickett was already dealing with a rib injury prior to the game, suffered during the loss to the Washington Commanders last weekend, and it’s possible that the rib injury was reaggravated.
Eagles third-string quarterback Tanner McKee entered the game for Pickett, helping extend the Eagles lead to 35-7 late in the third quarter.
