Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Kenny Pickett had only fond memories of going to Eagles games with his dad and grandfather since the New Jersey native was 5 years old.

But I’ll be OK.” Hurts suffered a concussion last week at Washington, which opened the door for Pickett to start for the first time this season. “You can’t go out there and play that position without the greatness of other people, and they had some greatness from other guys out there,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said.
