The Philadelphia Eagles are aiming to make it to their second Super Bowl in three years with a victory this Sunday against the Washington Commanders. However, their chances may dwindle without a fully fit Jalen Hurts.

Hurts missed the last two games of the regular season due to a concussion and raised concerns again during the divisional-round match against the Los Angeles Rams.

In that Sunday game, he was injured following a sack in the third quarter, where he was twisted backward by Desjuan Johnson and Jaylen McCollough.

Following that play, the quarterback headed to the medical tent but returned to the field on the Eagles’ following possession, donning a knee brace and completed the game.

Here’s the latest on Hurts, including updates on his practice participation leading up to the NFC championship:

Jalen Hurts Injury Update

On Wednesday, Hurts was listed as a limited participant during practice. The Eagles conducted a walkthrough, so the injury report serves as an estimation.

It is anticipated that Hurts will be ready to play, especially since he finished the game against the Rams. However, it remains uncertain if his mobility will be affected this week.

Hurts mentioned he is taking things day by day but feels he is progressing well for the NFC championship game.

As the week progresses, his practice status will be important to watch concerning his availability for Sunday’s match.

Who is the Eagles’ Backup Quarterback?

Kenny Pickett serves as the backup quarterback for the Eagles, while Tanner McKee is expected to be the emergency quarterback on Sunday. He would only come into the game if both Hurts and Pickett were unable to return.
