The Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen Hurts injury update is critical ahead of Sunday’s NFC championship game. Hurts, the team’s star quarterback, suffered a concussion in late November and has been dealing with a knee issue this season. Despite missing the last two regular-season games, he returned to action after a hobbled appearance in the divisional-round victory over the Los Angeles Rams on December 31.
Hurts completed 20 of 28 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown while wearing a knee brace during that game. The Eagles announced he would return for the NFC championship, but his practice status remains uncertain going into this week’s walkthroughs. Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett is available if Hurts can’t play due to injury, with Tanner McKee as the emergency option should both be unable to return.
The Eagles will face the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game. If Hurts misses Sunday or the Super Bowl, it could drastically alter their chances of claiming their second Super Bowl in three seasons. Fans are hoping Hurts can return and lead the team to victory.
