Who Should I Start? Ian Book or Anthony Brown Jr.

Thursday, December 26, 12:07 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles signed free-agent quarterback Ian Book to their practice squad on Thursday after he visited with the team on Wednesday, according to sources. Jalen Hurts (concussion) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report, while backup Kenny Pickett (ribs) was limited. With Philly's QB room banged up heading into their Week 17 tilt versus the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, the Eagles now have extra QB insurance with Tanner McKee and Book. Fantasy managers that have been riding Hurts all year should be a bit worried that he won't be cleared to play this weekend. You should have a backup plan in place in case Hurts doesn't gain clearance from an independent neurologist later this week. If anyone but Hurts is under center on Sunday leading the Eagles' offense, it will be bad news for running back Saquon Barkley and receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Buffalo Bills defensive back Anthony Brown has been released by the organization on Tuesday. Brown was on the practice squad, but the team has decided to move on from him following their playoff victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The departure of Brown won't impact the Bills roster considering he didn't spend any time on the active roster. The 31-year-old hasn't played since the 2023 season with the San Francisco 49ers. However, Brown was a long time full-time starter with the Dallas Cowboys before leaving the team following the 2022 season. Brown will look to catch on elsewhere ahead of next season.
