The Eagles have been quiet about quarterback Jalen Hurts’s availability, but the most significant indicator of his readiness could be the departure of a recent signee. With preparation for the NFC Wild Card game against the Packers looming, Philadelphia waived signal-caller Ian Book.

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.
