Jalen Hurts Health, Injury Updates & History

At this moment, we put the likelihood of Hurts playing W17 vs the Cowboys at 50/50, the Eagles have a playoff position locked up while the Cowboys have been eliminated from playoff contention, it would be wise for the Eagles to rest Hurts rather than risk him being out for longer if he were to sustain a second concussion

Hit his head on the turf on a run attempt, by video we didn't see a lot, but he has exited to the locker room for full concussion evaluation, unlikely to return

Was held out of practice this week with an ankle injury on the report, the team said it was largely precautionary and “rest”, there's no expectation of him missing any time

Jalen Hurts had a good season last year, leading the Eagles to 12 regular-season wins. He missed no games and played nearly all offensive snaps, recording the best stats of his young career with 3,858 passing yards and 23 touchdowns. Hurts was fully healthy until Week 7, when he began looking visibly hobbled and started wearing a knee brace on his left knee. It was later reported to be a bone bruise, which was re-aggravated in Week 9, but he missed no time. In the final regular season game, Hurts hit his throwing hand on a defender’s helmet and experienced an extensor tendon slip tear at the PIP joint on his right middle finger, causing him to exit the game. He played the lone playoff game the next week. There have been no reports of lingering issues in the offseason, and he is fully healthy to start training camp.
