The Philadelphia Eagles faced the end of the NFL regular season without their star player, Jalen Hurts, due to a concussion that kept him off the field. On the eve of a crucial playoff matchup against the Packers, head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the current situation of the quarterback.
According to journalist Jeff McLane, via his X (formerly Twitter) account @Jeff_McLane, the head coach confirmed Hurts’ presence at today’s practice: “Eagles HC Nick Sirianni confirms that QB Jalen Hurts will be at practice today.”
“Jalen Hurts is slated to be at Eagles practice today, sources said. A notable step forward as the QB works his way out of concussion protocol and prepares to start in Sunday’s first round playoff game vs. the Packers,” the reporter also added.
In this way, and provided no setbacks occur in the coming days, Eagles fans are hopeful for the potential return of the quarterback in the game where their team will host the Green Bay Packers.
