The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for their NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders. However, much of the focus leading up to the game is on star quarterback Jalen Hurts, who sustained a leg injury during the Eagles’ divisional round victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
Hurts’ injury occurred late in the third quarter when he was sacked by Jaylen McCollough. Although he finished the game, his mobility was clearly affected, and he was seen limping heavily on his way to the locker room afterward.
While the Eagles initially downplayed concerns about Hurts’ condition, the stakes for the upcoming championship game have heightened fans’ worries. On Wednesday, the team announced that Hurts was limited in their first practice of the week due to his leg injury.
The silver lining is that Hurts was able to participate in practice, but his status remains uncertain as the game approaches. With two practices remaining before the game, the Eagles are likely to prioritize his health and avoid unnecessary risks.
If Hurts’ availability for the championship game becomes uncertain, the Eagles have contingency plans in place. Backup quarterbacks Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee are preparing as though they might see action.
As the week progresses, fans will closely follow updates on Hurts’ condition, as his presence could be the deciding factor in the Eagles’ chances of victory. For now, he appears on track to play, but his practice participation over the next two days will be critical to watch.
