will he? Cowboys are done.. I am not sure they will risk 26.

We’ll see- they got a business decision to make. They want Saquon to get the record, but it would be tragic if he got hurt.
Selfishly, I want him to dominate the 2nd Half and go for around 150z

you happy he's an eagle yet for fantasy purposes? Or is it still horrific for you.
Deamon
Footballguy
how far off is he, anyways? Can't see him breaking it now, especially since they'd need to play him a near full game in a meaningless game next week.

He needed around 260 coming into today. Only has 40 yds so far. But I don’t think they bubble wrap him this game, yet
Deamon
Footballguy
no, but i would be shocked if he played next week. Unless he's like under 50 yards from it, which means he needs another 150 today.

Kenny Pickett grew up an Eagles fan in Ocean Township, N.J., rooting for the team with his father, Ken, a Philadelphia native who raised his children the right way. The idea that Kenny Pickett could be the starting quarterback for the Eagles on Sunday with the Dallas Cowboys coming to Lincoln Financial Field knowing that a win would mean an NFC East title for the Birds is remarkable for a player in his first season here.
"I've got a lot of family coming. It's a surreal feeling having this opportunity," Pickett said on Thursday at his locker at the NovaCare Complex. "I'm doing everything I can to be prepared and ready for it and I'm excited.
"I'm very excited. It's a big opportunity. I've been working hard to stay ready and I felt like I was in a good position last game with my preparation and now having a week to practice, I'll feel even better going into the stadium. So, I'm excited. I just want to get the win."
With starting quarterback Jalen Hurts in concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in Sunday's game at Washington and not knowing yet what Hurts' status will be for Sunday, Pickett was a full participant in Thursday's practice taking the first-team quarterback reps with Tanner McKee as the backup and newly signed (to the practice squad) Ian Book running the scout team. The Eagles have to be prepared for every possible scenario – including one that has Hurts passing the protocol in time to play on Sunday – and Pickett understands the entire picture.
He prepares every week to be the starter. That's what you do in the NFL. But this week, to date, he's had the benefit of taking far more reps in practice than he normally does.
"It's great to get reps with guys that I really haven't had a chance to play with," said Pickett, who came in on Sunday at Washington in relief of Hurts and completed 14 of 24 passes for 143 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. "Getting the continuity, getting in and out of the huddle, obviously throwing to the receivers is great for me.
"Everyone has been great. You don't get many reps with them so anything we get, we kind of communicate after. At the end of the day, it's about playing ball on Sunday."
...
"I'm just looking to do my part now," he said. "I just want to focus on doing my job each play. That's really my focus right now – being as prepared as possible to help us win this game."

He must not have the leg strength of Kenneth.

I like the look off Mckee handing off to SayQwan.
Pickett actually ended up playing his *** off. Hope his ribs are OK

wasn't anything cheap or special about the hit though. Likely exacerbated the sore ribs

Why I would be very cautious playing 26.. Game is over

Yep. It was a clean hit that affected the ribs.
Would have been nice if they'd replayed the call that nullified the TD.
