The Eagles handled their business against the Giants in Week 18 and that was a good thing because Pro Bowl quarterback Jalen Hurts would probably be doubtful for a Wild Card matchup.

After earning the No. 1 overall seed, Hurts and the Eagles have the lone bye week in the NFC and that’s a very good thing for the third-year quarterback.

Hurts said that he’s “played injured before” when asked whether he’ll be back to 100 percent and his comments were similar to what head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will make a push to play vs. Saints despite a shoulder injury

With the Philadelphia Eagles needing a win to wrap the division and the NFC, Pro Bowl quarterback Jalen Hurts is pushing to play against the Saints despite his shoulder injury

The Eagles are banged up and badly looking to wrap up the NFC, which explains why Jalen Hurts is about to put on his franchise-saving cape.

Ian Rapoport is reporting that Hurts is pushing to play against the Saints in the midst of a shoulder sprain that he suffered in the Week 15 win over Chicago.

In the loss to Dallas, Philadelphia had four turnovers, three of them committed by backup quarterback Gardner Minshew, and still needs just one win to clinch the NFC East, a first-round bye, and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

After the loss, head coach Nick Sirianni was asked about the status of his Pro Bowl quarterback.

“If Jalen’s ready to go, Jalen will play,” Sirianni said after the 40-34 loss. “He’s our starting quarterback. If he’s ready to go, then he’ll go. Again, like I said, that’s nothing against Gardner, because I thought he played a really good game, but if Jalen’s ready, he’ll go.”

Hurts is recovering from what is described by doctors as a SC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder — an injury to the joint where the collarbone meets the breastbone.

A first-time Pro Bowler and MVP candidate, Hurts has passed for 3,472 yards and rushed for 747 yards in 14 games. He has had just five passes intercepted and is completing 67.3% of his attempts, accounting for 35 total touchdowns (22 passing, 13 rushing) to tie Randall Cunningham’s franchise record.

4 takeaways from Eagles activating TE Dallas Goedert to 53-man roster ahead of game vs. Cowboys

Dallas Goedert is back and here are four takeaways from the Philadelphia Eagles adding their star tight end to the 53-man roster ahead of Week 16 at the Cowboys

One of the Eagles’ most dynamic pass catchers is back, as the team activated tight end Dallas Goedert to the 53-man roster ahead of the Week 16 showdown against the Cowboys.

One of the NFL’s top tight ends, Goedert has missed the past five games after suffering a shoulder injury in Philadelphia’s only loss, a Week 10 matchup against Washington.

With Goedert back, the Eagles will likely make a move at the tight end position and leave C.J. Gardner-Johnson as the only starter, not on season-ending injured reserve.

Here are four takeaways and a random note from Goedert’s return.

Nick Sirianni gives an update on Jalen Hurts shoulder; Talks confidence in Gardner Minshew

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Jalen Hurts shoulder sprain is not long-term, and talked about having 100% confidence in Gardner Minshew vs. Dallas Cowboys

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.
