Jalen Hurts Cleared from Concussion Protocol, Set to Lead Eagles in Wild Card Game

The Eagles quarterback will start against the Packers on Sunday after recovering from a head injury sustained in December.

Jalen Hurts cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will start for the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's NFC Wild Card matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
Hurts suffered a concussion during a December 22 loss to the Washington Commanders and missed the final two regular-season games while recovering.
The Eagles, who finished the season 14-3, are the NFC's second seed and aim to advance past the Wild Card round after last year's early playoff exit.
Hurts, a dual-threat quarterback, accounted for 32 total touchdowns this season, including 18 passing and 14 rushing, and led the team to a 12-2 record in games he started.
Key offensive players, including wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, are expected to play Sunday, giving Hurts a strong supporting cast as he returns to action.
