Jalen Hurts injury update: Eagles QB dealing with lower body ailment ahead of Week 12

The Eagles returned to practice on Wednesday, and Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was limited with a lower body injury

The Eagles released their initial injury report for Week 12, and star quarterback Jalen Hurts was a limited participant because of an ankle injury.

Hurts told reporters it’s part of a “mini-program” to be healthy for the stretch run, and he’ll fully practice the next two days.

Earlier in the day, the Eagles announced that Bryce Huff would miss time following a Thursday surgery on his injured wrist.

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was a non-participant, along with Jalyx Hunt and Milton Williams. Linebacker Nakobe Dean was a limited participant, while Britain Covey logged a full practice on his first day back.

Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts to have surgery on injured ankle

#Eagles quarterback Jalen #Hurts dealt with a nagging ankle injury this season and he’ll now have surgery on Wednesday to repair the injury.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will undergo ankle surgery on Wednesday, to repair a nagging injury that he’s battled through since Week 12.

Hurts looked off at times during Philadelphia’s 31-15 loss to the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, and the Eagles quarterback was seen in a walking boot afterward.

Hurts confirmed that he had still been dealing with the lower ankle injury that kept him sidelined for two games this season, and he hinted at possible offseason surgery while sitting at the podium.

Hurts was intercepted twice, had 88-yards in the first half, and was 16-of-32 passing through the first three-quarters of play in the wild card loss.

Philadelphia will have three first-round picks in April’s draft and they’ll be the usual discussions by insiders about trading for Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers.

The Eagles will hold a walkthrough on Wednesday as the team starts preparation for Sunday’s huge matchup against the Washington Football Team.

Even after a rest and relaxation, Philadelphia still has some concerns about Jalen Hurts and his injured ankle. So much so, that head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed that Gardner Minshew will split the first-team reps with his injured second-year quarterback.

Sirianni being so honest forces Washington to prepare for two quarterbacks, while Hurts appears unlikely to let Minshew lead Philadelphia’s offense to another 30+ point outing without his services.

Nick Sirianni says Jalen Hurts is Eagles starter after Gardner Minshew’s impressive debut

Philadelphia #Eagles coach Nick #Sirianni sends a clear message about Jalen Hurts status as #Eagles QB after Gardner #Minshew’s impressive performance

Gardner Minshew had a performance for the ages in the Eagles’ 33-18 blowout of the Jets on Sunday, but Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni sent a clear message about the status of Jalen Hurts.

Hurts missed Sunday’s game with an ankle sprain, and after Minshew played a near-perfect game against the AFC East foe, Sirianni let it be known that Hurts is the starter, and there’s no quarterback controversy.

Minshew finished Sunday’s win 20 of 25 for 242 yards, two touchdowns, and zero picks.

The Eagles will be without star quarterback Jalen Hurts for Sunday’s matchup against the Jets according to Derrick Gunn.

As the Eagles deal with the disappointment of Sunday’s loss and start preparation for Sunday’s matchup against the Jets, the team could be without quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Philadelphia’s starter since Week 13 of last season, Hurts has a “sore” ankle according to head coach Nick Sirianni.

On Monday Sirianni told reporters that he’ll have an update on Hurts’ status for Week 13 on Wednesday but he is hopeful the dual-threat QB will be able to play against the Jets.

The Eagles have a Bye in Week 14 after their game against the Jets, and the team could look to rest Hurts for two more weeks.

If Hurts can’t play, Gardner Minshew would make his first start as an Eagle.
