The Eagles could be without quarterback Jalen Hurts for a week or up to a month depending on how his shoulder feels, and how the matchup against Dallas goes on Saturday night.
Head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed Hurts’ shoulder sprain while detailing that it will not be a long-term injury.
While a guest on the 94WIP Morning Show, Sirianni gave some insight into Philadelphia’s run-pass ratio from Sunday.
“They devoted a lot of efforts to the run game…and giving us one on ones,” Sirianni said. “And the indication of the games that A.J. [Brown] and DeVonta [Smith] had. I know what they’re ranked in the run game, but if a team wants to say I’m going all in and you’re going to have to throw to beat us, that’s what some teams are going to do. And we’re lucky enough that we’re able to be balanced and to be able to adjust and say OK, you’re doing that, we’re doing this. A.J. had 181 yards, and DeVonta had 126 yards. So if they played the style that they were playing, we knew we could hurt them on the outside.”
Hurts stayed in the game and made some big throws after the injury, but it’ll provide commentary and talking points about his usage rate going forward.
