The Wild Card round of the 2023 NFL season is here. The Eagles will host the Buccaneers and, even though Philadelphia is the favourite, Jalen Hurts‘ update about his hand injury might change the odds.
The 2023 season has had a lot of ups and downs for the Eagles. Even though they started with five consecutive wins, Philadelphia lost five out of its last six games, and they are no longer regarded as true contenders to win the upcoming Super Bowl.
In the Wild Card round, they will face the Buccaneers, whom they defeated in Week 3 with a final score of 25-11. Unfortunately, Jalen Hurts recently suffered a hand injury, and he has shared an update about it that should worry the team’s fans.

During that game, Jalen Hurts dislocated the middle finger on his throwing hand. He immediately left the match and the team decided not to use him anymore to avoid any major risk.
Unfortunately, the quarterback has now given a worrying update on the matter. “I have not…” Hurts said when asked if he had attempted to throw. “Obviously, leaving that game, and attempting to go back into that game, probably wasn’t physically the best idea.“
