Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Kenny Pickett declared himself "ready to go" for Sunday's pivotal clash against the Dallas Cowboys. His statement carries extra weight as Philadelphia's rushing offense faces its biggest test of the season.
The stakes are immense for Philadelphia's second-string quarterback. Pickett steps in for Jalen Hurts, who remains in concussion protocol after a first-quarter collision with linebacker Frankie Luvu during last Sunday's game.
At the Eagles' practice facility on Thursday, Pickett addressed the media about his preparation. He practiced fully despite the rib injury from last week's 36-33 loss to the Commanders.
"I don't try to get too caught up into it because there is so much that goes into playing quarterback," Pickett said. "I just want to focus on doing my job each play and ... we'll see what happens in the fourth quarter. That's really my focus right now, being as prepared as possible."
