Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been ruled for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys with a concussion.

Hurts has been in concussion protocol since his head hit the turf during Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders. Head coach Nick Sirianni said on Friday that it was "going to be tough for him to make it" after the quarterback did not practice this week.

Backup Kenny Pickett, who came in for Hurts for the rest of the Commanders game, will start in Hurts' place.

Down in New Jersey, the Indianapolis Colts (7-8) hopes to keep its faint playoff hopes alive without Anthony Richardson, who will miss Sunday's game with back and foot injuries. Joe Flacco will start Sunday at the New York Giants.

Richardson's injury isn't expected to sideline him for the regular-season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to an ESPN report. This will mark the third game Richardson has missed with injury this season.

After suffering a bone bruise during Monday night's win over the New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has yet to practice this week.

After a Saints player fell on him, there was concern for Watson's knee, but Packers head coach Matt LaFleur confirmed earlier this week that there was no structural damage and it was only a bone bruise.

On Thursday, LaFleur told reporters that even if Watson doesn't practice this week, that doesn't necessarily mean he won't play Sunday against the Vikings.

“If he’s feeling up to it on Sunday, then I’m going to let him go. If he’s not, then we won’t let him go,” LaFleur said.

Watson is currently listed as questionable.
