Eagles try to clinch NFC East title with Hurts’ head injury looming large

Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts may sit out a potential NFC East clincher against Dallas because of the lingering effects of a concussion. The Eagles could also just rest Hurts to play it safe -- even if he’s medically cleared ahead of Sunday’s game -- and protect their franchise QB from additional injury over the final two games. Philadelphia’s starting quarterback situation has surged past Saquon Barkley’s chase at Eric Dickerson’s season rushing record as the most intriguing talking point in the final two games. The Eagles have already have set a team record for yards rushing in a season with 2,818, and they are within four rushing touchdowns of tying the club’s single-season mark of 32, set in 2022. Barkley needs four more rushing touchdowns to tie LeSean McCoy’s Eagles record, set in 2011 and just 33 yards from scrimmage to break McCoy’s mark of 2,146 set in 2013.
