Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) injured his left knee and was in the medical tent briefly in Sunday's Divisional Round win against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. Although Hurts returned to the game, head coach Nick Sirianni didn't have much of an update on the star QB on Monday during his press conference. After the win when asked how he was feeling, Hurt simply said, "I finished the game." Sirianni said the Eagles will know more on Hurts' status for the NFC Championship on Sunday versus the division-rival Washington Commanders in the coming days. It's unclear exactly what the nature of Hurts' knee injury is, but with trip to the Super Bowl on the line, we're expecting him to do everything in his power to be out there. We'll have a better idea on his status when Philly releases their first injury report of the week on Wednesday. In the Week 11 win over the Commanders, Hurts went 18-for-28 for 221 yards, no TDs or interceptions and added 10 carries for 39 yards and a TD on the ground.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts played a pivotal role in Sunday's 28-22 Divisional Round win over the Los Angeles Rams. Hurts completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards while adding seven carries for 70 rushing yards, including a 44-yard touchdown run on the opening drive that electrified the snow-covered crowd at Lincoln Financial Field. As for the passing game, Hurts completed 15 passes for 128 yards. Hurts showed resilience despite being sacked seven times and playing with a knee brace in the second half. He should be good to go for next week as the Eagles are set to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. Hurts' ability to adapt and lead through adversity will be critical to Philadelphia's Super Bowl aspirations.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) said that he's confident he will be able to play in next Sunday's NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports. Hurts suffered a knee injury during the Divisional Round on Sunday, but he was able to finish the game after missing just one play. Even though the star signal-caller confirmed to the media that he's good to go for next week's contest, fantasy managers and bettors should still monitor his status on the Eagles' injury reports over the next few days.
Jan 20, 2025 12:17 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will look to exploit the Los Angeles Rams defense on Sunday in the Divisional Round. Hurts delivered a solid performance in last week's Wild Card win over the Packers, completing 61.9% of his passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns while adding 36 rushing yards. However, his output was tempered, in part, by the Eagles' reliance on Saquon Barkley. Hurts struggled in the Eagles' Week 12 matchup with the Rams, finishing with just 15 fantasy points as Barkley stole the show. Despite completing 68.2% of his passes, Hurts managed only 179 passing yards and one touchdown while rushing for 39 yards. Facing a Rams defense that allowed one of the league's lowest QB rushing averages, Hurts must lean on his dual-threat ability to deliver a strong playoff performance.
Jan 17, 2025 9:58 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts looked solid in his return from concussion protocol in Sunday's 22-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Facing a tough Packers defense, Hurts completed 13 of 21 passes (61.9%) for 131 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his composure and efficiency. He also added six rushes for 36 yards, proving the Eagles had no intention of limiting his involvement in the run game despite his recent injury. Hurts opened the game with six consecutive completions, including an 11-yard touchdown to Jahan Dotson on the Eagles' first drive. His biggest highlight came on a 24-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert in the third quarter, a play that will undoubtedly make postseason highlight reels. Hurts' dual-threat capability will be crucial as the Eagles host the winner of Minnesota Vikings/Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round next week.
Jan 13, 2025 9:55 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has cleared concussion protocol and is set to start Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Hurts missed the final two games of the regular season, but his return is a massive boost for Philadelphia's offense. Despite the Packers allowing the third-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, their defense has struggled against dual-threat QBs. Hurts' rushing ability remains his most valuable asset, with a league-high 14 rushing touchdowns in 2024, including numerous scores via the Eagles' trademark "tush push." While his rushing volume could be slightly tempered following his concussion, Hurts' combination of passing and goal-line prowess makes him a top-tier fantasy play. Expect Hurts to anchor the Eagles' offense in their quest for playoff success.
Jan 11, 2025 10:22 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Nick Sirianni. Hurts is now ready to go for the wild-card playoff game this Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. This was the expectation after Hurts upgraded from a limited practice on Wednesday to a full practice on Thursday. He should be officially cleared from the final injury report for the week on Friday and start under center on Sunday. Fantasy managers setting DFS lineups or in playoff leagues might be a little more hesitant to use the 26-year-old as their QB this weekend after he missed the final two games of the regular season due to his concussion, but his rushing prowess alone -- he had a league-high 14 rushing TDs in 2024 -- make him a top-five option at the position.
Jan 10, 2025 12:25 PM EST
Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and remains on pace to clear the league's concussion protocol and play on Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers on wild-card weekend. Hurts suffered a concussion the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and didn't play in the final two games of the regular season. After being limited on Thursday, Hurts is clearly making progress and is expected to be cleared by an independent neurologist before Sunday. Because of his rushing prowess along near the goal line -- he led the league with 14 rushing touchdowns -- Hurts should be considered a top-five fantasy QB in playoff leagues if he's cleared to play this weekend. In the Week 1 win over Green Bay, Hurts went 20-for-34 passing for 278 yards, two TDs and two interceptions.
Jan 9, 2025 6:13 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) is practicing again on Thursday after returning to practice on Wednesday for a limited session. The 26-year-old suffered a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders and was absent from all practices and games before returning on Wednesday. His official practice status will be announced after practice wraps up on Thursday, but it appears he is trending toward being available for the NFC Wild Card matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Needless to say, not having Hurts for a postseason contest would significantly hamper Philadelphia's chances to advance to the Divisional Round. If he surprisingly cannot play on Sunday, Kenny Pickett (ribs) would likely draw the start.
Jan 9, 2025 2:40 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion/left finger) was limited in practice on Wednesday. NFL fans got the news earlier in the day that Hurts would practice. However, he was officially listed as a limited participant. Hurts is most notably working his way through the concussion protocol. His return to practice in any capacity bodes well for his chances to play on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. The Eagles own the NFC's No. 2 seed as they enter the playoffs. They will face a tough task when an 11-win Packers team comes to town for Wild Card weekend. While the Eagles roster is very stout, there is no doubt that this is a substantially better team with Hurts healthy. He is especially important in the running game. Hurts has scored 42 rushing touchdowns combined over his last three seasons. Expect the Eagles to be in good shape against the Packers this weekend should Hurts ultimately return to the lineup.
Jan 8, 2025 6:04 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) is expected to be at the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to sources. It's a notable step forward as Hurts works his way out of the league's concussion protocol and prepares to start on Sunday in the wild-card round of the postseason versus the visiting Green Bay Packers. Hurts suffered a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and did not play in the final two games of the regular season. He's also dealing with a fracture to a finger on his left (non-throwing) hand, but his concussion is the much bigger issue. The 26-year-old was a top-10 fantasy QB in 2024 and led the league with 14 rushing touchdowns, but that's where the root of his value lies. The Eagles passing attack left a lot to be desired all year. Given the potential rust factor heading into the playoffs, Hurts carries a lot more DFS risk this weekend.
Jan 8, 2025 12:14 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that he has no new information on quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion), who remains in the league's concussion protocol. Hurts suffered a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and missed the final two weeks of the regular season as a result. The 26-year-old is reportedly making progress with his head injury, but his availability for the wild-card playoff game this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers is in question. Hurts is apparently on track to return to practice this week, but we won't know for sure until Wednesday. He's also been dealing with a fractured finger on his left (non-throwing) hand, but that shouldn't keep him from playing in the playoffs. Fantasy managers may be more hesitant to use the overall QB9 in fantasy this year playoff leagues if he returns this Sunday against Green Bay.
Jan 6, 2025 3:42 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) was not able to practice this week and will sit out the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. Hurts has now missed back-to-back games due to a concussion, but he appears to be making progress. The superstar quarterback is on track to practice this upcoming week. That is great news as the Eagles desperately need Hurts back on the field before the Wild-Card Round next weekend. Backup quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs) is currently injured and out for Week 18. That could leave Tanner McKee to start a playoff game, so hopefully Hurts is able to practice this week and suit up next weekend. The Eagles injury report is going to be something to monitor throughout the week.
Jan 5, 2025 11:04 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) missed practice all week and has officially been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants on Sunday. In addition to a concussion that he suffered in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders, Hurts is dealing with a fractured finger on his left (non-throwing hand). Hurts will now miss his second straight game, although he's reportedly progressing through the concussion protocol and will hopefully have a shot to be cleared to play in the wild-card round of the playoffs next weekend. With Kenny Pickett questionable to play this weekend due to broken ribs, the Eagles are preparing for Tanner McKee to make his first career NFL start in Week 18. Entering Week 18, Hurts is the QB8 in overall fantasy points thanks to 2,903 passing yards and 32 total TDs (18 passing, 14 rushing).
Jan 3, 2025 5:21 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Friday that quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) is "progressing through the protocol" when asked about Hurts' status heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants. Sirianni didn't offer any additional details. Hurts suffered a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and was inactive for last week's blowout win over the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. With the Eagles locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC for the postseason, they will rest key starters on both sides of the ball this weekend, including Hurts. Hopefully, he will make enough progress through the concussion protocol in order to be cleared to play in the wild-card round of the playoffs next weekend. If Kenny Pickett (ribs) doesn't play in Week 18, third-stringer Tanner McKee will get the start against New York.
Jan 3, 2025 12:26 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) was not seen at practice again on Thursday. Hurts suffered a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and was inactive for Sunday's beatdown of the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. With Hurts still in the league's concussion protocol and with the Eagles locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC for the postseason, he is not going to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants. Backup Kenny Pickett also has broken ribs and hasn't practiced this week, so things are lining up for Tanner McKee to make his first career start against the G-Men. Philly's top priority will be to get Hurts cleared for the wild-card round of the playoffs next week. Although McKee threw two TDs in relief of Pickett last week, he'll be a desperation, low-end QB2 if he starts.
Jan 2, 2025 5:04 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and is not expected to play on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants in the Week 18 regular-season opener. Hurts suffered a concussion early in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders and was inactive in the blowout win over the division-rival Dallas Cowboys in Week 17. The Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC for the postseason, so they have nothing to gain by rushing Hurts back this weekend. In addition to Hurts, head coach Nick Sirianni said on Wednesday that the team plans to "rest some guys" on Sunday, including the NFL's rushing leader in running back Saquon Barkley. Kenny Pickett (ribs) is not certain to play through his broken ribs on Sunday, either, so third-stringer Tanner McKee could make his first career start against the G-Men.
Jan 1, 2025 3:02 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett will start in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys as Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol. While Pickett also appeared on the injury report this week due to a rib issue sustained in last week's game, he has since been cleared to play. In Week 16, Pickett completed 14 of 24 pass attempts for 143 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also contributed 13 rushing yards on three attempts. Pickett's Week 16 performance left much to be desired, ranking 27th in yards per attempt and 28th in passer rating. Despite his struggles, Dallas offers room for optimism, as their defense has allowed the eighth-most passing yards per game since Week 11. Still, the Eagles are likely to lean heavily on their rushing attack and defensive play, positioning Pickett more as a game manager than a fantasy asset. Consider him a risky QB2 option.
Dec 28, 2024 10:32 AM EST
According to Dave Zangaro of NBCS Philly, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. As a result, Kenny Pickett will get the starting nod. Hurts suffered this concussion during the first half of their game against the Commanders last weekend. Hurts also could not practice all week, which could put him in danger of missing Week 18's game. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during practice next week. In relief last weekend, Pickett went 14-for-24 with 143 yards, a score, and an interception. Fantasy managers should only consider starting Pickett in deep Superflex formats, as he carries very little upside and high risk, given his lack of offensive production throughout his young career.
Dec 27, 2024 4:04 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion) is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Pelissero notes that Hurts missed practice on Thursday, which means that he's in one of the earlier portions of the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The star quarterback would need to clear all five phases before being permitted to play in Week 17. Such progress is possible between now and Sunday, but the expectation is that Hurts will be inactive while Kenny Pickett (rib) draws his first start of the 2024 season. Notably, Pickett is dealing with an injury of his own but expects to have no limitations this weekend against Dallas.
