After Hurts's concussion, the Eagles signed former Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book to the practice squad. This helped as backup Kenny Pickett suffered a ribs injury and a hard hit the week after. Third-string quarterback Tanner McKee stepped up for Pickett during the last two games.

Jalen Hurts hasn't played since before Christmas, and the quarterback remaining in concussion protocol to open this week prompted fair questions from Philadelphia Eagles fans: Will the star signal-caller be ready for Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers?

Perhaps the Eagles signaled Hurts' return to practice by waiving quarterback Ian Book, who was originally signed to the practice squad after Hurts' concussion, then added to the 53-man roster to serve as the third QB the past two games.
