Kenny Pickett is expecting to be fine to play this weekend.
Pickett spoke to reporters on Thursday and said he’s planning to be available to play, despite dealing with a ribs injury. The Eagles seem likely to need their backup Pickett, as starting quarterback Jalen Hurts is dealing with a concussion and has not practiced yet this week.
“Yeah, full go today,” Pickett said of his practice status on Thursday, via Tim McManus of ESPN. “Tested out some different things padding-wise, just making sure I feel good with it for Sunday. But, yeah.”
Asked if he felt good about the tests he underwent after Sunday’s game, Pickett said, “It is what it is.”
“Just something I’m going to have to deal with,” Pickett said. “So, yeah, I’ll be ready to go Sunday.”
Pickett added he’s not expecting to have any limitations due to the injury.
“I think after a couple more days, getting a chance to kind of rest a little bit more, go do some rehab, I’ll be good for Sunday.
In his first year with the Eagles, Pickett got his first extended playing time of the season in last Sunday’s loss to Washington. Pickett completed 14-of-24 passes for 143 yards with a touchdown and an interception in that game.
