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?

McKee, in his second year out of Stanford, threw two more touchdown passes after replacing Pickett and then made his first NFL start Sunday and defeated the Giants, 20-13. He completed 27 of 41 throws for 269 yards and two touchdowns while playing almost exclusively with fellow backups.

Officially, Jalen Hurts remains in the concussion protocol five days before the Eagles host the Green Bay Packers in a wild-card round playoff game. But the tea leaves seem to be trending in a positive direction for the Eagles more than two weeks after Hurts suffered a concussion early in the first quarter of the team’s Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders.
