Pickett completed six of nine passes for 58 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSISWith
Jalen Hurts sitting out the Eagles' preseason finale, Pickett got another start and played the entire first half, but the former Steeler did little with the opportunity. Pickett's longest completions both went to
Parris Campbell, for 19 and 15 yards on his first and last possessions of the day, but he had no other gains for double-digit yards. The team's 2023 sixth-round pick,
Tanner McKee, played most of the second half and had an uneven performance, which likely secures Pickett's spot as Hurts' primary backup to begin the regular season.
