How an Ankle Injury Affected Jalen Hurts' Practice Week Before the Showdown with Dallas

Friday, November 8th, 2024

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni mentioned that quarterback Jalen Hurts did not join practice due to an ankle problem. However, the injury report described his absence as rest-related.

On Wednesday, Hurts skipped drills and instead watched while the backup quarterbacks were involved in practice sessions.

As per insiders, Hurts has been dealing with a minor ankle problem for several weeks. The restricted practice was a strategic move to manage his workload, especially with the Eagles preparing for two games within a five-day period.

During practice, Hurts refrained from specific movements but later joined the team in a walk-through.

He is anticipated to be fully participating by Friday and is expected to play in Sunday's match in Dallas.

Hurts explained that his limited practice was for rest, following the instructions given by the team.
