Jalen Hurts Injury: Eagles QB Suffered Right Shoulder Sprain in Win over Bears

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a right shoulder injury shortly before the end of the third quarter in the Week 15 win over the Bears.

By video, Hurts appeared to suffer a mild AC joint sprain when his shoulder was jammed into the turf on a scramble, with the weight of Bears defensive end Trevis Gipson landing on top of him, according to the Pro Football Docs.

The MVP front runner remained in the game, but did appear in pain after the play. He finished 7-10 for 110 yards – including a 68-yard deep throw to A.J. Brown – and rushed 4 times for 11 yards and a touchdown.

Before the injury he was 15-27 for 205 yards with two interceptions and had 12 rushes for 50 yards and 2 rushing touchdowns.

Early reports have his status in doubt for a big Week 16 matchup against the Cowboys, but it may be too early to determine his status.

AC joint sprains typically have a recovery timeline of one week to three weeks, but they can be played through with a numbing injection, according to the Pro Football Docs.

The Eagles can clinch a first-round bye and home field advantage with a win over the division rival Cowboys this Saturday.

If Hurts is unable to play Saturday, Gardner Minshew would step in as the starter.

Even if Hurts does not play Saturday, he will be 100% by the playoffs.

Eagles vs. Cowboys Week 16 Odds
