Nick Sirianni has built a very solid squad and that’s why the Eagles are seen as a top candidate to win the next Super Bowl. Unfortunately, there have been some bumps on the road that might complicate things up for the end of their season.

ā€œHe sprained his shoulder … he is attacking his rehab,ā€ Sirianni said, via WIP’s Eliot Shorr-Parks. ā€œWe’ll see what happens this week … not something we deem long-term.ā€

As today, Hurts has not been ruled out by Sirianni for their next game. Even though they have not clinched the Division title, it could be possible that Gardner Minshew plays in order to give their starting quarterback some extra rest for the two final games and the Playoffs.

ā€œThere’s a chance he (Jalen Hurst) can play this week. He’s a freak. He heals fast,ā€ Sirianni later told reporters on Tuesday. ā€œI will not rule him out this week.ā€
