Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is in the NFL’s concussion protocol. His status for Sunday is uncertain
Associated PressPHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol on Monday, limiting his ability to practice this week for the Philadelphia Eagles and casting doubt on his availability for Sunday’s game against Dallas. Coach Nick Sirianni gave no additional health update on Hurts but did say the QB who led the Eagles to 10 straight wins before he was forced out with the head injury wouldn’t need much time this week to get ready against the Cowboys, if he was cleared. Sirianni said the Eagles would lean on the medical staff on a daily basis to know where Hurts — who threw two touchdown passes and ran for a pair of scores in the first meeting against Dallas in November — was in his recovery from the head injury. “Any time you lose one of your best players, you wish they’d do something else or not take that hit.” Hurts shook off a sluggish start over the first four games and has thrown 18 touchdowns against just five interceptions to turn the Eagles into Super Bowl contenders.
