Eagles waive QB Ian Book ahead of wild card matchup vs. Packers

The Eagles have been quiet about quarterback Jalen Hurts’s availability, but the most significant indicator of his readiness could be the departure of a recent signee. With preparation for the NFC Wild Card game against the Packers looming, Philadelphia waived signal-caller Ian Book.

The Eagles waived Book at the 53-man roster deadline last summer, naming rookie Tanner McKee as the third quarterback.

Following the injuries to Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Kenny Pickett (ribs), the Eagles signed Book to the practice squad on December 26, and then to the active roster two days later. He did not appear on the active roster in the final two regular-season games.
