Jalen Hurts Injury Update

Jalen Hurts - SIC score 77

By video, hit right hand on a defender during a follow through on a pass - extensor tendon slip tear at the PIP joint on right middle finger - also called a swan neck deformity - can be treated with splinting and could play with splint in playoffs to help him grip and throw - index finger dominant grip gives him a better chance to play effectively.

Hurts was 6 for 12 for 47 yards when he exited. He returned to the game on the next drive early in the 2nd quarter.

He should be able to take his usual snaps under center and execute the “tush push” that Philadelphia has made famous.
