Eagles Say Jalen Hurts Is Fine After Ankle Scare in 31-0 Win

Hurts remains available for Washington with Philadelphia positioned to clinch the division.

Overview

  • Hurts slipped with his left leg caught under him against the Raiders, then immediately returned to throw a touchdown on the next play.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni told SPORTSRADIO 94WIP that Hurts’ exit was due to the lopsided score, pushing back on outside injury speculation.
  • Hurts told reporters there were no lingering effects from the play and he is fine, and he did not appear on subsequent injury reports.
  • He finished 12-of-15 for 175 yards and three touchdowns with 39 rushing yards before backups, including Tanner McKee, closed the game.
  • The victory ended a three-game skid and moved Philadelphia to 9-5, with a chance to clinch the NFC East in Week 16 against Washington or with a Cowboys loss.
